_ _ _ Hello [Bb] everyone, welcome to Dehenes, Texas my front porch
_ _ _ [G] Today I want to sing y'all a song that people ask me a lot.
What's my favorite song and and I have to say that [Eb] my favorite

[G] _ _ [Eb] _ [Bb] Three _ _ _ in the [G] front seat
[Eb] They sat on each [Bb] side that green and white
[F] 58 Fair Lane
Would [Bb] glide down farm roads [F] past open fields [Eb] seeming like no [Bb] big deal [F] as it was
happening I never felt a thing
_ _ [Bb] Now looking [G] back.
It [Eb] seems like it was [Bb] everything
[F] Singing with mom just so we could hear ourselves
[Bb] sing stealing a drink from [Eb] the cold can and [Bb] daddy's lap protected by
[F] only a small thin brown paper sack _ _
[Eb] And the wind blew [Bb] the echoes from long [F] faded voices
They'd sing me a song
that the [Bb] old cowboys sing [Eb] I
Didn't [Bb] know what the words [F] meant or anything.
I was just seeing
Cuz I was supposed to [Eb] say mother
_ [Bb] Watch over [F] us, please
We wander around [Eb] in this [Bb] dangerous world [Eb] Thank mother
_ _ [Bb] There's nothing so [F] sweet as the undying love [Eb] of a South Texas girl
[F] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ And with the windows [F] wide open
[Eb] It felt hot to us
[Bb] Anyway three [F] bound together on a day just like any [Bb] day
They told me and taught me
[Eb] Showed me and bought [Bb] me Whatever
[F] _ From the corner you told [Bb] them they said the name Corpus Christi.
[Eb] It means the body of [Bb] Jesus
pronounce it
[F] Furio city folks, they [Bb] don't know it looks like [Eb] palacios
Sounds like palatial [Bb] just listen [C] the next [F] time you're watching
_ [Eb] Siddhashir and the wind blew the echoes [Bb] of long faded [F] voices
They sing me song [Eb] that the old [Bb] cowboys sing [Eb] I didn't know
[Bb] What the words meant or [F] anything?
I was just singing [Eb] saying mother
_ [Bb] Watch over us, [F] please
We wander around

[Eb] _ _
_ [Bb] There's nothing so [F] sweet as the undying love [Eb] of a [Bb] South Texas girl
[Eb] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] I didn't know [Bb] what the words meant or anything
[F] I was just singing
_ _ _ _ [Bb] These days with car [Eb] seats and open container
[Bb] Halls [F] social correctness leaves no room for Santa [Bb] Claus
Sitting right next to me.
[Eb] She looks like that used to be song that [F] they sang for me
And _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] with the windows wide open
Feels hot to us Anyway
[F] Together _ _
Just like any [Eb] day the wind _ [Bb] blows
