"Sunbeam Special" lyrics

"Sunbeam Special"

Back in my memory is a special little place
Where a country boy stands with a smile on his face
Watching all the people in the passenger car
Wondering if he'd ever get a chance to go that far

Sunbeam special screaming round the bend
Waking up the memories of my childhood again
Taking me to places I never have been
Sunbeam special run a hole in the wind

Higginbotham's dog would go to chasing its tail
Yelping and a-barking raising all kinds of hell
Good god all mighty katie bar the door
Rattled all the windows shook the hell out of the floor

Sunbeam special screaming round the bend
Waking up the memories of my childhood again
Taking me to places I never have been
Sunbeam special run a hole in the wind

Out twix the outhouse and the railroad track
Sunflowers bent and swayed all the way back
Critters in the tall grass went running for their life
The sunbeam special disappeared in the night

Sunbeam special screaming round the bend
Waking up the memories of my childhood again
Taking me to places I never have been
Sunbeam special run a hole in the wind
Sunbeam special run a hole in the wind
