Let The Water’s Wash Over Me Lyrics by The Boxcars

Familiar With the Ground

2016

(VER1)On days like today
My mind drifts away
To time's spent on cainey creek
By day fishing poles
And deep swimming holes
At night we'd play hide-n-seek
Memories fade and soon go away
Like the gray my hair has turned
One still remains and with all it's pain
Each night in my mind it burns
(CHO) Sing sing me a song
With an old melody
Take take me back home
Let the waters wash over me
(VER2) A pretty young girl
Sweet flowing curls
She was mommies great joy
And she worshipped me
Cause I was 13
Mommy and daddies big boy
By the pale moon light
I snuck out one night
To go down to ole cainey creek
But I didn't see
That she followed me
As I went in the waters so deep
(Tag) Tonight I weep on ole cainey creek
I sit here a bitter old man
In the water so clear I offer a tear
Where her fingers slipped through my hand
