St. Mother Maria, watch us please As we wander around in dangerous world Thank Mother Maria, nothing so sweet As the undying of a South Texas girl
The three in the front seat, sat on each side That green and white '58 Fairlane it would Down farm roads past fields, seeming like no big deal As it was happening I felt a thing
But now looking back it 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 small thin paper sack
And the wind blew the echoes of long faded And they'd sing me a song that the old sang And I know what 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 Mother Maria, there's nothing so sweet As the undying of a South Texas girl
And with the windows open, it felt hot to us anyway We three bound on a day just like any day They told me and me and showed me and bought me Whatever I wanted from the you told them
You said the name Corpus Christi the body of Jesus Pronounce it Refugio, city folks they don't It looks like Palacios, but like Palacios Just listen the next time you're watchin' Sid
And the blew the echoes of long faded voices And they would me a song that the old cowboys sang And I didn't what the words meant or anything I was just
St. Mother Maria, watch over us As we wander around in dangerous world Thank Maria, there's nothing so sweet As the undying love of a Texas girl
And I didn't know the words meant or anything I was singing
Now these days with car seats and container laws Sew sure correctness, but leaves no for Santa Claus Sitting right next to me, she looks like used be that 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 echoes of faded voices And they sing us a song the old cowboys sang And now that I know what the words mean and I'm still
St. Mother Maria, over us please As we wander around in this dangerous Thank Maria, there's nothing so sweet As the love of a South Texas girl
St. Mother Maria, over us please As we stumble around in dangerous world Thank Mother Maria, nothing so sweet As the undying of a South Texas girl As the undying of a South Texas girl
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
St. Maria, watch over us please As we wander around in dangerous world Thank Maria, there's nothing so sweet As the undying of a South Texas girl
