Been gone - so long, I can't wait to get back home. Home to the Lone Star State, another day I just can't wait. Look out boys, I'm a-headed your way. I got a mind that wonders in a '57 Chevrolet.
I was only nineteen the morning you were born. With your hair fine and red and your eyes like my own. Barely a woman with only a song. I sang to keep you smilin' and held you all night long.
If I die before my mother does. then I would fly beyond the blue. and paint the moon the color of her eyes. and give my shoes away. . Or if I die the way of memory.
Someone betters gonna treat me better baby. Someone betters gonna scratch this itch. Cant wait forever, I could go crazy. Theres got to be something better than this.
Blue, I was beginning to think I'd always be. Blue, skies never seemed to follow me. True, love I never thought I'd find. Blue, was in these eyes of mine.
Where were you when you left me alone?. Spent all my time sitting by the phone. Waiting for you to come around, but once again you let me down. Oh at the time I was too naive of a dreamer to ever believe in you.
Well, you told me when we met. Your love would last forevermore. And it took me by surprise. When you up and walked right out the door. . Been suffering through this dry spell.
Fare you well my honey. Fare you well my only true one. All the birds that were singing. Are flown, except you alone. . Going to leave this brokedown palace.
Blinded by Stars. . My blood does remember the rhythm of a drum. Beat by a boy soldier whose revolution won. Ive carried pretty flowers to fallen heroes graves.
I'd hook my wagon to my trike and I'd head across the yard. To my big sandbox where I worked real hard. Playing all day with my little toy trucks. Backhoes, bulldozers, earth-moving stuff.
I wanna be loved by you, bayou baby. Nobody else but you bayou baby. I searched this world from end to end. I finally found where I should've always been.
Oh, if I had a big ol' eraser, I'd start from today. And go back through life's pages and correct a lot of things. Yeah, steppin' on toes with my foot in my mouth.
