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