[Intro]     x2 [Verse 1] God gave you red light on every green road sign when you left Santa Fe We were two string beans and you were too nineteen to be blowin’ away [Hook] There were thieves in the square hidin’ hands and hidin’ prayers and all their mumblin’ Nothing left you alone tangled heels and tiny vireos singin’ something [Verse 2] Stuck with her pin curls your mama was scared of the world it was born with a bang I was steppin’ on sea shells by the old Mission San Miguel when a bell tower rang [Hook] And the sky fell apart heard the rain I heard your heart and what was spoken ’Cause nothin’ bends for a name nothin’ wants to stay the same and nothin’s broken [Bridge] When your friends and their friends Pass the pipe or tie the knot Honeymoon music played In the drive-thru parking lot I woke up by your bed You were wanderin’ around the yard Window wide as a day But the sun just hit too hard [Hook] In a home void of doors mama’s house slowed a little more in the evenin’ Naked boys throwin’ stones beady eyes and desert bones they saw you leavin’ [Instrumental] x2 [Verse 4] God gave you bobwhites and the good kind of black night when you left Santa Fe New Mexico’s no breeze and you were so nineteen you were blowin’ away
