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