Sometimes

SOMETIMES

VERSE 1

STARTED WITH A SIMPLE MISSED APPOINTMENT
NONE OF US THOUGHT TOO MUCH OF IT
TILL SHE LEFT THE STOVE ON, ALL NIGHT LONG
BUT SHE WAS SURE SHE TURNED IT OFF

VERSE 2

THE DOCTOR GAVE US THE DIAGNOSIS
SAID THERE’LL COME A DAY, WHEN SHE WON’T KNOW US
YOU NEED TO BE PREPARED SHE WON’T BE HERE
WHEN SHE’S LOST IN HER OWN LITTLE WORLD

CHORUS

YEAH SOMETIMES SHE’S RUNNING IN AN OPEN FIELD OF CLOVER
CAREFREE IN A SUNDRESS UNDERNEATH A PALE BLUE MOON
TALKING TO HER DADDY, PICKING DAISIES FOR HER MOMMA
NOW SHE’S RELIVING HER CHILDHOOD IN THE NURSING HOME
IN HER MIND SHE’S STILL THERE SOMETIMES

VERSE 3

THE LINES ON HER FACE SHOW HER JOURNEY
THE STATE SHE’S IN WON’T DEFINE HER STORY
FOR 89 YEARS THROUGH LAUGHTER AND TEARS
SHE’S BEEN THE ROCK THE FAMILY LEANS ON

CHORUS

NOW SOMETIMES SHE’S SKIPPING ROCKS ON THE CANNEY RIVER
CATCHING SOME FIREFLIES IN HER GRANDMA’S MASON JAR
SINGING WITH THE CHOIR IN CHURCH ON SUNDAY MORNING
NOW SHE’S RELIVING HER CHILDHOOD IN THE NURSING HOME
IN HER MIND SHE’S STILL THERE SOMETIMES

CHORUS

YEAH SOMETIMES SHE’S RUNNING IN AN OPEN FIELD OF CLOVER
CAREFREE IN A SUNDRESS UNDERNEATH A PALE BLUE MOON
SINGING WITH THE CHOIR IN CHURCH ON SUNDAY MORNING
NOW SHE’S RELIVING HER CHILDHOOD IN THE NURSING HOME
IN HER MIND SHE’S STILL THERE
IN HER MIND SHE’S STILL THERE SOMETIMES

STARTED WITH A SIMPLE MISSED APPOINTMENT
NONE OF US THROUGHT TOO MUCH OF IT
