South Texas Girl
Lyricist:Lyle Lovett
St. Mother Maria, watch over us please As we wander around in this dangerous world Thank Mother Maria, there's nothing so sweet As the undying love of a South Texas girl
The three in the front seat, they sat on each side That green and white '58 [Incomprehensible] It would drive down farm roads past open fields Seeming like no big deal As it was happening I never felt a thing
But now looking back it seems like it was everything Singing with mom just so we could hear ourselves sing Stealin' a drink from the cold can in daddy's lap Protected by only a small thin brown paper sack
And the wind blew the echoes of long faded voices And they'd sing me a song that the old cowboys sang And I didn't know what the words meant or anything I was just singing because I was supposed to
St. Mother Maria, watch over us please As we wander around in this dangerous world Thank Mother Maria, there's nothing so sweet As the undying love of a South Texas girl
And with the windows wide open, it felt hot to us anyway We three bound together on a day just like any day They told me and taught me and showed me and bought me Whatever I wanted from the corner you told them
You said the name Corpus Christi means the body of Jesus Pronounce it [Incomprehensible], city folks they don't know It looks like a [Incomprehensible]but sounds like the lashes Just listen the next time you watch it, said [Incomprehensible]
And the wind blew the echoes of long faded voices And they would sing me a song that the old cowboys sang And I didn't know what the words meant or anything I was just singing

And I didn't know what the words meant or anything I was just singing
Now these days the car seats and open container laws Show sure correctness, leaves no room for Santa Claus Sitting right next to me she looks like that used be Song that they sang for me
And with the windows wide open, it feels right to us anyway The two bound together on a day just like any day
The wind blows the echoes of long faded voices And they sing us a song that the old cowboys sang And now that I know what the words mean and everything I'm still singing
St. Mother Maria, watch over us please As we wander around in this dangerous world Thank Mother Maria, there's nothing so sweet As the undying love of a South Texas girl
St. Mother Maria, watch over us please As we stumble around in this dangerous world Thank Mother Maria, there's nothing so sweet As the undying love of a South Texas girl As the undying love of a South Texas girl
St. Mother Maria, watch over us please As we wander around in this dangerous world Thank Mother Maria, there's nothing so sweet As the undying love of a South Texas girl
St. Mother Maria, watch over us please As we wander around in this dangerous world Thank Mother Maria, there's nothing so sweet As the undying love of a South Texas girl
