You remember sittin' there
one rainy night in a well-used chair
Tellin' me how well you used to dance
The western wind will come again
and make you feel like you did
Said this life took most of you,
gave you twice and the day was through
You said it all turned out awfully fair
So tell me tales of all the times
and all the seasons you got by
Breathin' in that cold November air
Two kids 'bout twenty-three
and the sun sets you'll never see
You were yellin' "Supper" from the yard
And they grew old and sailed away,
call you on phones from far away
Wrote you novels on postcards
was to see your children fly
Maybe one day they're stars
But there ain't no leavin'
this small town this evenin'
You can't even drive your own car
Dear Ma- ma how's it goin'?
Was the weather fair last week?
Dear Ma- ma they were derful
All the sights you'll never see
And dear ma, if I could hold you,
You could take a worthless
And make him mean something
Tell us what you wanted to,
and all we did, we needed you
Your dreams were too small to care
if you look hard you'll find it
Memory gives warmth to right here
Dear Ma- ma how's it goin'?
Was the weather fair last week?
Dear Ma- ma they were wonderful
All the sights you'll never see
And dear ma, if I could hold you,
You could take a worthless
And make him mean something
