Some Things I want
To Sing About
I can still see mama stooped around those cotton stocks
If she picked one she picked a hundred then
Well me and all my brothers would take turn about
Draggin’ mama’s sack up to the scales
While little baby sister slept in peaceful sleep
Mama laid her in the trailer shade
My daddy was in
When he was comin home we couldn’t wait
Chorus:
These are just some things I want to sing about
Memories I can’t live without
Diamonds buried deep down in my mind
Thoughts I can’t quit thinkin
A fountain I keep drinkin from
And the taste is getting sweeter all the time
I remember thinking town was where grandmothers live
Where brothers go to catch the bus and train
A treasured thought was daddy grinnin’ ear to ear
Every time we’d hear the old chuck wagon gang
Among the many things I can’t forget about
Was seein’ mama bowed in silent prayer
I’d turn and lift her slowly without her even knowing
There was ever anybody there
Chorus:
These are just some things I want to sing about…
(Repeat first line of chorus)
These are just some things I want to sing about
