It was Cinco de Mayo
|
Pillow case on his head
|
No more breathing time
|
An ambulance sped
|
Sped 'round every corner
|
Calling out his name
|
|
Shot a rabbit from the back seat window
|
Sat and watched the summer corn grow
|
Ate ice cream in a desert dream
|
And got lost in father's singing
|
Too hot inside
|
Too hot outside
|
Lazy days when I said let's go for a ride
|
We'd sail on Spirit Lake
|
Me, my pappy and his lemonade
|
|
Tim and Tina were my parents' names
|
They got engaged
|
They were inflamed
|
Seduced by the light of butterflies
|
How they shimmer, how they glimmer
|
Those butterflies
|
|
We seven kids
|
We almost died
|
Nearly put to death
|
By lightening strikes
|
Instead there was hot, pink
|
Flashes in the sky
|
We climbed the rocks, in snow and rain
|
In search of magic powers
|
To heal our mother's pain
|
|
Shot a rabbit from the back seat window
|
Sat and watched the summer corn grow
|
Ate ice cream in a desert dream
|
And got lost in father's singing
|
Too hot inside
|
Too hot outside
|
Lazy days when I said let's go for a ride
|
We'd sail on Spirit Lake
|
Me, my pappy and his lemonade
|
