Sheila's Dribs 'n Drabs

Everything’s bigger in Texas, The city, the dinner, the trees Well, maybe not trees They need water But storms oughtta bring the roof down. Everything’s bigger in Texas, Go visit the son Walk the town And we’ll celebrate family That’s bigger tonight Even the family cold is bigger in Texas.

I’ll drive a rental car I guess, From strange hotel to carpark where I’ll ask the way Then see him cross the stage And if I’m really lucky Watch him smile. I’ll breathe the plastic scents I guess Of cleanly crowds and hear them cheer As on the stage Beneath the heated lights Each child is changed I’ll see them smile. We’ll eat in some hotel and then Our fingers bent we’ll pack the car With his possessions Record of his days Then as we head for home I hope he’ll smile. Maybe we’ll even talk The day he walks.
