St. Mother Maria, watch us please As we around in this dangerous world Mother Maria, there's nothing so sweet As the undying love of a South girl
The three in the front seat, they sat on side That green and white '58 Fairlane it drive Down farm roads past open fields, seeming like no big As it was I never felt a thing
But now looking back it seems it was everything Singing with mom just so we could ourselves sing Stealin' a drink from the can in daddy's lap Protected by only a small thin brown paper
And the wind blew the echoes of long voices And they'd sing me a song that the old sang And I didn't know the words meant or anything I was just singing I was supposed to
St. Maria, watch over us please As we wander around in dangerous world Thank Mother Maria, nothing so sweet As the love of a South Texas girl
And the windows wide open, it felt hot to us anyway We three together on a day just like any day They me and taught me and showed me and bought me I wanted from the corner you told them
You said the name Christi means the body of Jesus Pronounce it Refugio, city they don't know It looks like Palacios, but sounds like Just listen the time you're watchin' Sid Lasher
And the wind the echoes of long faded voices And they would sing me a song that the old sang And I didn't know what the meant or anything I was just
St. Mother Maria, over us please As we wander around in this world Thank Mother Maria, nothing so sweet As the love of a South Texas girl
And I didn't know what the words or anything I was just
Now these days car seats and open container laws Sew sure correctness, but leaves no room for Santa Sitting right next to me, she looks like used be Song they sang for me
And with the windows wide open, it feels hot to us The two together on a day just like any day
The wind blows the of long faded voices And they sing us a that the old cowboys sang And now that I what the words mean and everything I'm still
St. Maria, watch over us please As we wander in this dangerous world Thank Maria, there's nothing so sweet As the undying love of a South girl
St. Mother Maria, over us please As we stumble around in this dangerous Thank Mother Maria, nothing so sweet As the undying of a South Texas girl As the undying love of a Texas girl
St. Mother Maria, over us please As we wander around in this world Thank Mother Maria, there's so sweet As the undying love of a South girl
St. Mother Maria, watch over us As we wander around in this world Thank Mother Maria, there's nothing so As the undying of a South Texas girl
