    O.K. After playing this song as a part of my live performance repertoire for the last
    years, I think that I have a worked out a fairly accurate version of, in my honets
  • one of Lyle's best songs to date. Of course being a native Texan myself I am a bit biased.

    (Lyle Lovett)
    G (D) Cadd2 (G)
  • Three in the front seat they sat on each side
    G (D) D2 (A2) D (A)
    That green-and-white 58 Fairlane it would glide
  • G (D) Cadd2 (G)
    Down farm roads past open fields seeming like no big deal
    G (D) D2 (A2) D (A)
  • As it was happening I never felt a thing
     
    G (D) Cadd2 (G)
  • But now looking back it seems like it was everything
    G (D) D2 (A2) D (A)
    Singing with Mom just so we could hear ourselves sing
  • G (D) Cadd2 (G)
    Stealing a drink from the cold can in daddy's lap
    G (D) D2 (A2) D (A)
  • Protected by only a small thin brown paper sack
     
    Cadd2 (G) G (D)
  • And the wind blew the echoes of long-faded voices
    D2 (A2) D (A) Cadd2 (G) G (D)
    And they'd sing me a song that the old cowboys sang
  • Cadd2 (G) G (D)
    And I didn't know what the words meant or anything
    D2 (A2) D (A)
  • I was just singing because I was supposed to

    And with the windows wide open it felt hot to us anyway
  • Three bound together on a day just like any day
    They told me and taught me and showed me and bought me
    Whatever I wanted from the corner U-tote-M
  •  
    They say the name Corpus Christi means the body of Jesus
    Pronounce it Refugio (Re-fur-io) city folks they don't know
  • It looks like Palacios (Pu-law-see-os) but sounds like Palacios (Pu-laa-shus)
    Just listen the next time you're watchin' Sid Lasher
     
  • And the wind blew the echoes of long-faded voices
    And they would sing me a song that the old cowboys sang
    And I didn't know what the words meant or anything
  • I was just singing
     
    CHORUS- (same as above)

    VERSE- (same as above)
  •  
    And these days with car seats and open container laws
    Social correctness leaves no room for Santa Claus
  • Sitting right next to me she looks like that used to be
    Song that they sang for me
     
  • And with the windows wide open it feels hot to us anyway
    Two bound together on a day just like any day
    The wind blows the echoes of long-faded voices
  • And they sing us a song that the old cowboys sang
    And now that I know what the words mean and everything
    I am still singing
  •  
    CHORUS- (same as above)
     
  • Saint Mother Maria watch over us please
    As we wonder around in this dangerous world
