We left early from grade school
They drove us up the mountain
So we could play in the leaves
I wore purple, you a jean coat
We were a lifeboat just you and me
Dad would play guitar
You would write all the words
I would dance and play my
Red tambourine
We would have races down Wendell
We would light candles on Christmas Eve
Bury your army men in the sandbox
Snails in a cardboard box near the tv
Dad would play guitar
You would write all the words
I would dance and play my
Red tambourine
We placed pennies on the railroad tracks
Stronger kinship, brother I want you back
Dad would play guitar
You would write all the words
I would dance and play my
Red tambourine
