South Texas Girl

Lyle Lovett

Saint mother maria watch over us please
As we wonder around in this dangerous world
Thank mother maria there's nothing so sweet
As the undying love of a south texas girl

Three in the front seat they sat on each side
That green-and-white 58 fairlane it would glide
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
Stealing 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

Sing mother maria watch over us please
As we wonder 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
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 u-tote-m

They say the name corpus christi means the body of jesus
Pronounce it refugio city folks they don't know
It looks like palacios but sounds like
Just listen the next time you're watchin' sid lasher

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

Saint mother maria watch over us please
As we wonder around in this dangerous world
Thank mother maria there's nothing so sweet
As the undying love of a south texas girl

And i didn't know what the words meant or anything
I was just singing

And these days with car seats and open container laws
Social correctness leaves no room for santa claus
Sitting right next to me she looks like that used to be
Song that they sang for me

And with the windows wide open it feels hot to us anyway
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 am still singing

Saint mother maria watch over us please
As we wonder around in this dangerous world
Thank mother maria there's nothing so sweet
As the undying love of a south texas girl

Saint 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

Saint mother maria watch over us please
As we wonder around in this dangerous world
Thank mother maria there's nothing so sweet
As the undying love of a south texas girl

Saint mother maria watch over us please
As we wonder around in this dangerous world
Thank mother maria there's nothing so sweet
As the undying love of a south texas girl
