Grand Parade
A Love Story Unfolds: Life's Grand Parade with Hayes Carll
Lyrics
Another Sunday on the corner of the neighborhood
Describing a typical Sunday in the neighborhood
Leavin' worries right where they lie
Choosing not to worry and leaving concerns as they are
I'm just peeling off the labels and a ' feeling good
Removing labels, feeling good, and observing life passing
Watchin' all this life go by
Observing life unfolding around
There's music for the window of the record store
Music playing in the record store window
Kids runnin' wild in the heat
Children playing energetically in the heat
Couldn't get much better with my life and the weather
Expressing contentment with life and weather
Till I saw you walkin' down the street
Noticing someone special walking down the street
Now girl, you got me thinking 'bout you and 'bout me
Expressing thoughts about the person and the relationship
So many things I'd like to say
Desire to express feelings and thoughts
Like, girl I want to get 'cha
Expressing a desire to be with the person
Wanna get my picture with ya so that everybody around can see us
Wishing to capture a moment together for others to see
Livin' in this grand parade
Describing life as a grand parade with the special person
Another Sunday on the corner in the neighborhood
Repeating the scene of a Sunday in the neighborhood
Not a single cloud in the sky
Not a cloud in the sky, emphasizing a perfect day
I'm just jokin' with the fellas feeling good
Joking with friends and feeling good
Watchin' all this life go by
Observing life and enjoying the moment
I thought I knew pretty from the magazines
Reflecting on past perceptions of beauty
And the girls I used to meet on the town
Comparing previous encounters with the current one
But you got me burnin' numbers and pickin' out rings
Feeling a strong connection and considering commitment
You're better looking than my buddies hands down
Acknowledging the attractiveness of the special person
Now girl, you got me thinking 'about you and 'bout me
Reiterating thoughts about the person and the relationship
So many things I'd like to say
Expressing a desire to communicate feelings
Like, girl I just can't hide it
Unable to hide excitement and emotions
You're gettin' me excited
Feeling enthusiastic and thrilled
Thinkin' 'bout all of the things we can see
Contemplating the future and possibilities
Livin' in this grand parade
Emphasizing the grand parade of life with the special person
Just another Sunday in the neighborhood
Repeating the description of a Sunday in the neighborhood
I got you sittin' right by my side
Having the special person by one's side
We're just laughing with our friends and a' feelin' good
Enjoying laughter with friends and feeling good
Watchin' all this life go by
Observing life passing by with a sense of contentment
Watchin' all this life go by
Reiterating the act of observing life unfolding
