Lyrics
The orange was the size of a watermelon to me
The orange appeared exceptionally large, resembling a watermelon in my perception.
well at least is my memory
Or, at least, that's how my memory recalls it.
sunshine made my bare feet burn upon the road
Sunshine caused my bare feet to feel the heat on the road.
far away we'd roam
We used to wander far away.
I'd be hollarin' song in the back seat
I would enthusiastically sing songs in the back seat.
the boys would laugh and tease about my black feet
The boys would playfully mock and joke about my black feet.
they'd tell stories that would warm my soul
They would share stories that brought warmth to my soul.
