St. Mother Maria, over us please As we wander around in 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 would Down farm roads past open fields, seeming no big deal 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 the cold can in daddy's lap Protected by only a small brown paper sack
And the wind the echoes of long 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 singing because I was supposed to
St. Mother Maria, over us please As we around in this dangerous world Thank Mother Maria, nothing so sweet As the love of a South Texas girl
And with the windows wide open, it felt hot to us We bound together on a day just like any day They me and taught me and showed me and bought me Whatever I wanted from the corner you told
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 you're watchin' Sid Lasher
And the wind blew the of long faded voices And they would sing me a song the old cowboys sang And I didn't know what the meant or anything I was singing
St. Mother Maria, watch us please As we around in this dangerous world Thank Mother Maria, there's nothing so As the undying of a South Texas girl
And I didn't know what the meant or anything I was just
Now these days car seats and open container laws Sew sure correctness, but no room for Santa Claus Sitting right to me, she looks like that used be Song they sang for me
And the windows wide open, it feels hot to us anyway The two together on a day just like any day
The wind blows the echoes of long faded And they sing us a song that the old cowboys And now that I know what the mean and everything I'm singing
St. Mother Maria, watch over us As we wander around in this dangerous Thank Mother Maria, there's so sweet As the undying of a South Texas girl
St. Mother Maria, watch over us As we stumble in this dangerous world Thank Mother Maria, there's so sweet As the undying love of a South Texas As the undying of a South Texas girl
St. Maria, watch over us please As we around in this dangerous world Mother Maria, there's nothing so sweet As the undying love of a South Texas
St. Mother Maria, watch us please As we wander around in dangerous world Thank Maria, there's nothing so sweet As the undying love of a South Texas
