Songtext Mineral wells Amanda Shires

Mineral wells

in 81 I was just a dream
on the shelf, daiquiri,
not even a thought, til sometime that july,
til sometime in july

then something happened in 84
ended up with two places to be from
the only tree in lubbock with roots in mineral wells
mineral wells

CHORUS:
at night I dream I'm in the brazos river,
tanks and cyprus and the west cross timbers
and oh I know it shows,
I'm just another one just lookin for my home

there's a spot out under the train track trestle,
the water's too deap to stand in
and you were there once,
climb the sandstone and jump in
hold your breath and jump in

take the airboat way up stream,
heat tirin' and you fall asleep
in my folding chair
dreamed I was smoking cigarettes
he's always got one hanging from his lips

CHORUS:
at night I dream I'm in the brazos river,
tanks and cyprus and the west cross timbers
and oh I know it shows,
I'm just another one just look for my home

I've been drinking water from the gibson well
folks before me say it cures what ails you
and I think it might be true, that there's something in the well
in mineral well?.

CHORUS:
and at night I dream I'm in the brazos river,
tanks and cyprus and the west cross timbers
and oh I know it shows,
I'm just another one just searching for my home
