Banks Of The Old Bandera Lyrics - Houston Kid - Rodney Crowell

On the banks of the old Bandera where roams the barefoot child 

On Sunday go to meetin' shortcuts out along the high wire lines down a dusty road 

The hills there were bluebonnets like a printed cotton gown 

And summer rain falls down like honey sweet magnolia blossoms grow and old men dance 

Once we ran barefooted through a clover full of dew 

Once we learned to play like lone Comanches running loose 

What it made you feel like is a song 

But what it feels like now is gone 

I can hear the screen door slamming 

Run a foot race to the creek 

You can see clean to the bottom and deeper just depends on how you look, maybe where you stand 

Monkey vines and swimmin' holes lay just around the bend 

The rope we used to swing on now hangs tattered in the wind 

What it made you feel like is a song 

And what it feels like now is gone 

What it made you feel like is a song
