On the banks of the old Bandera
Am G C
where roams a barefoot child
Am G C F
On Sunday golden evenings?. shortcuts
Dm7
Out along the high wire lines

Down the dusty road

The hills they wear blue bonnets
Am G C
Like a pretty cotton gown
Am G C F
And summer rain falls down like honey
Dm7
Sweet magnolia blossoms grow
Gsus G
And old men dance
Dm7 C
Once we ran bare footed through a clover full of dew
Dm7 C
Once we learned to play like lone Comanche?s running loose

What it made it you feel like is a song
Am G C
And what it feels like now has gone

Run a footer race to the creek
Am G C F
You could see clean to the bottom?? and deeper

Just depends on how u look

Maybe where u stand

Monkey vines and swimming holes lay just around the bend

The rope we used to swing on now hangs tattered in the wind
