Wild and Clear and Blue

[Verse 1] Sunlight breaking through the blinds Someone shouts, "Come on, it's time" Rushing out the door and buckle up Digging around in the tapes on the passenger side Push one in, press rewind And windshield wipers keeping time [Pre-Chorus] Ooh, when I was nine Heard you singing about the five and dime "What's that?" I asked and my mama said "They were everywhere when I was a kid" [Chorus] I hear the fiddle and the bow Still playing long after the show And your voice runs likе the Brazos through me Wild and clear and bluе [Verse 2] Feet shuffling 'cross the floor Moonlighting at a record store Thumbing through the bins to find a friend I pick one out and I put it on Dancing alone to my favorite song Under the flicker of fluorescent lights [Pre-Chorus] Ooh, when I was nine Heard you singing about paradise "What's that?" I asked and my mama said "That was everywhere when I was a kid" [Chorus] I hear the fiddle and the bow Still playing long after the show And your voice runs like the Brazos through me Wild and clear and blue [Bridge] Now I'm rolling down all my windows While the wild birds cut lines across the sky Your voices are swirling around me Driving into the west Texas night Breathing in the scent of the sagebrush Tears cutting lines across my face Now the static is slowing replacing The sounds of my childhood days [Pre-Chorus] We were singing about paradise "What's that?" I asked and my mama said "That was everywhere when I was a kid" [Chorus] I hear the fiddle and the bow Still playing long after the show And love runs like the Brazos through me Wild and clear and blue Wild and clear and blue Wild and clear and blue
