Album: Odessa (2014)

Hummed Low

The green truck hummed low
Ah, we took only back roads
We drove miles of country
We saw an old barn burning

Skies were a light blue
All the billboards read untrue
I read them, each one
We passed by the thousands

Was a full sun at high noon
And up rose a bright moon
Casting shadows,
Like dancing sparrows

Sing me baby home,
Sing me baby home,
Run baby, run baby, run baby, run
Run from the one who you know that you love
Run baby, run baby, run baby, baby run

Oh we turned on the radio
And listened to talk shows
Till the engine slowly, drove down into sleep
The desert's sunrise
Was a feast to our eyes
The dry heat and hot wind
Caressing our skin
We'll go no further
We'll build us a home here
For a time, not forever
Just you and I dear

Sing me baby home,
Sing me baby home,
Run baby, run baby, run baby, run
Run from the one who you know that you love
Run baby, run baby, run baby, baby run

Sing me baby home,
Sing me baby home,
Run baby, run baby, run baby, run
Run from the one who you know that you love
Run baby run baby run baby, baby run

Ooooooohhh Ooooohhhhhh Ooohhh
Ooooooohhh Ooooohhhhhh Ooohhh
Ooooooohhh Ooooohhhhhh Ooohhh
Ooooooohhh Ooooohhhhhh Ooohhh
