Sunlight breaking through the blinds
Someone shouts, come on, it's time
Rushing out the door, buckle up
Diggin' around in the tapes on the passenger side
Push one in and press rewind
Windshield wipers keeping time
Ooh, when I was nine
Heard you singing 'bout the five and dime
"What's that?" I asked?
And my mama said
"They were everywhere when I was a kid"
I hear the fiddle and bow
Still playing long after the show
And your voice runs like the Brazos through me
Wild and clear and blue
Feet shufflin' cross the floor
Moonlighting at a record store
Thumbing through the bins to find a friend
I pick one out, and I put it on
Dancin' alone to my favorite song
Under the flicker of fluorescent lights
Ooh, when I was nine
Heard you singing 'bout paradise
"What's that?" I asked?
And my mama said
"That was everywhere when I was a kid"
I hear the fiddle and bow
Still playing long after the show
And your voice runs like the Brazos through me
Wild and clear and blue
Now I'm rolling down all my windows
While the wild birds cut lines across the sky
Your voices are swirling around me
Driving into the west Texas night
Breathing in the scent of the sagebrush
Tears cutting lines 'cross my face
Now, the static is slowly replacing
The sounds of my childhood days
We were singing 'bout paradise
"What's that?" I asked
And my mama said
"That was everywhere when I was a kid"
I hear the fiddle and bow
Still playing long after the show
And love runs like the Brazos through me
Wild and clear and blue
Wild and clear and blue
Wild and clear and blue
