"Banks Of The Trinity" lyrics
On the banks of the Trinity River
Skipping stones, lookin' for arrowheads
Felt that bite, saw a flash of silver
Gold eagle claw hook, split shot of lead
Flat top box, stackin' up Millers
The song lives on and the rope's still there
Railroad bridge, wet blue jean shiver
It ain't too high till you're in the air
Driftwood fires in that smoke moon shine
Chasin' wild sapphires till we burn back time
On the banks of the Trinity River
Hangin' daisies out on a limb
When she wades out, ya better go and get her
You won't be seventeen again
Driftwood fires in that smoke moon shine
Chasin' wild sapphires till we burn back time
On the banks of the Trinity River
There's a flood line from my yesterdays
Time's just an oak leaf floating on that water
The green turns gold then washes away
It washes away
Skipping stones, lookin' for arrowheads
Felt that bite, saw a flash of silver
Gold eagle claw hook, split shot of lead
Flat top box, stackin' up Millers
The song lives on and the rope's still there
Railroad bridge, wet blue jean shiver
It ain't too high till you're in the air
Driftwood fires in that smoke moon shine
Chasin' wild sapphires till we burn back time
On the banks of the Trinity River
Hangin' daisies out on a limb
When she wades out, ya better go and get her
You won't be seventeen again
Driftwood fires in that smoke moon shine
Chasin' wild sapphires till we burn back time
On the banks of the Trinity River
There's a flood line from my yesterdays
Time's just an oak leaf floating on that water
The green turns gold then washes away
It washes away
