Lampasas
Lampasas Legacy: A Heartfelt Journey Through Time
Lyrics
I Hit the brakes at a stoplight on one eighty-three
Pausing at a stoplight on highway 183
First time I ever drove was in his old red Chevy
First driving experience in his grandfather's red Chevy
He said let's get your grandma, she'll want to see this too
Inviting grandma to share the moment
And if you get into school, I'll give this truck to you
Promising a truck if the person excels in school
Did you know you're the best I ever saw?
Expressing admiration as the best seen
I think this year you're gonna win it all
Anticipation of winning in the upcoming year
Your daddy's got a real good team
Acknowledging the quality of the father's sports team
But you're the only one that matters to me
Stating the person is the most significant despite the team
Oh but maybe if I close my eyes
Contemplating a hopeful outcome with closed eyes
Say a prayer then it'll be alright
Seeking reassurance through prayer
Wake up to a smiling sun
Desiring a positive start with a smiling sun
But the songbirds remember what they saw last night
Hinting at a hidden truth known by the songbirds
He wiped a tear from his eye
Noting an emotional moment of wiping away a tear
As I drove ol red, and left Lampasas behind
Leaving the town of Lampasas behind while driving
I know it was late but did ya see the game last night?
Asking about a recent sports game
Tied at 34 into overtime
Describing a tough game tied at 34, going into overtime
Man we were so tough, you should've seen us fight
Boasting about the team's toughness and fighting spirit
We brought it to 'em like you taught me my whole life
Attributing learned fighting spirit to the person
Oh but maybe if I close my eyes
Repeating the hopeful contemplation with closed eyes
Say a prayer then it'll be alright
Reiterating the reliance on prayer for reassurance
Wake up to a smiling sun
Expressing the desire for a positive morning with a smiling sun
But the songbirds remember what they saw last night
Referencing the songbirds' memory of the previous night
I wiped a tear from my eye
Repeating the emotional moment of wiping away a tear
As I drove ol red, and left Lampasas behind
Continuing the journey, leaving Lampasas emotionally
I sang his favorite song for everyone he loved
Singing a favorite song for loved ones
Made it through one verse of Brooks and Dunn
Attempting to sing a verse of Brooks and Dunn
Then my tough ran out
Noting the fading strength or resilience
Like it always does
Acknowledging the inevitability of tough times
So I sat there crying while I barely strummed
Expressing emotional vulnerability while strumming a guitar
Oh but maybe if I close my eyes
Repeating the hopeful contemplation despite challenges
Say a prayer then it'll be alright
Reiterating the reliance on prayer for comfort
Wake up to a smiling sun
Desiring a positive morning with a smiling sun
But the songbirds remember what they saw last night
Referencing the songbirds' memory of the previous night
Well maybe if I close my eyes
Repeating the hopeful contemplation with closed eyes
A prayer will make it feel alright
Believing that prayer can make things feel better
Wake up to a shining sun
Desiring to wake up to a shining sun
But songbirds remember what they saw last night
Reiterating the songbirds' memory of the previous night
I wipe a tear from my eye
Repeating the emotional moment of wiping away a tear
As I drove ol red, and left Lampasas behind
Continuing the journey, leaving Lampasas emotionally
