[00:06.33]We were driving back from
[00:07.58]the country one night
[00:08.52]Mom and Dad up the front
[00:10.08]The rest of us snug and tight
[00:17.27]My kid brother grumbled for a little minute
[00:19.95]My big sister said he better quit it or die
[00:27.80]It had been a long day in the countryside
[00:31.11]Playing with the cousins on my mother’s side
[00:33.86]The sound of the radio closed our eyes
[00:37.17]Drifting across the sea, then I fell asleep
[00:47.86]Well I don’t know what woke me up
[00:50.30]Maybe a country song or a big truck passing by
[00:58.93]But I could hear Mama and Papa talk
[01:01.82]Papa said something and Mama began to cry
[01:10.07]No more words then just soft sobs
[01:12.88]And my head began to throb
[01:16.24]I just lay there playing dog
[01:18.55]Breathing slow and deep
[01:22.61]They thought I was asleep
[01:27.92]They thought I was asleep
[01:35.79]
[02:17.01]It seemed like forever till the sobbing stopped
[02:19.63]Then they talked for a little
[02:21.00]But just too soft to hear
[02:22.57]
[02:28.18]Daddy kept looking to the side of her face
[02:30.62]One hand on the wheel
[02:32.00]The other one stroking her hair
[02:39.31]Headlights shining from the other way
[02:42.06]Showed tears on the cheeks of Daddy’s face
[02:44.62]I prayed for Jesus to send His grace
[02:47.43]And all our souls to keep
[02:52.09]Back then I believed
[02:57.41]They thought I was asleep
[03:02.78]The night was dark and deep
[03:08.50]I wish I was asleep
[03:13.88]How I wish I was asleep
