lyrics

Blanco County (newest version)


(verse D A G)

She sits by the window

Moon fills up the sky

Her minds on things that might have been

Hears arswings and thinks of flying

things she tried to bury

She tried but they came out

Always been one just to get it done

She would if she knew how


 

Northwest Blanco county

Trees bare of leaves are holding up the sky

Debra Jean wears  her pretty things 

On the days her son comes by

He was never one to worry

He’s plenty worried now

He sees here pain in everyday things and wants to help her

He would if he knew how



Chorus (chords D, em, F#m,G,D,em, A, D)  chorus Only do after verse 2 and 3
Young uncounted days
Those happy foolish ones
That love you’re leaning on
You feel it when it fades
You feel it when its gone

Out in the Seguin prairie 

Grass up to his knees

Long gone days since he moved away

She’s where she wants to be 

There’s things he has to carry,

Things he can’t set down

He feels the past as emptiness

In the here and now


Chorus


 Still one chair there in the front room

the window’s swelled, stuck tight

On his chest, the weight of it

The weight of all that time 

 The things he has to carry

He carries them around

The past persists as emptiness

In the here and now.
