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
