Lemonade

It was Cinco de Mayo, pillow case on his head

No more breathin' time, an ambulance sped

It sped round every corner callin' out his name

Shot a rabbit from the back seat window

Sat and watched the summer corn grow

Ate ice cream in a desert dream

And got lost in father's singin'

Too hot inside, too hot outside

Lazy days when I said let's go for a ride

We'll sail on Spirit Lake

Me, my pappy, and his lemonade

Tim and Tina were my parents names

They got engaged, they were enflamed

Seduced by the light of butterflies

How they shimmer, how they glimmer, those butterflies

We seven kids, we almost died

Nearly put to death by lightening strike

Instead there was hot pink flashes in the sky

We climbed the rocks in snow and rain in search of magic power

To heal our mother's pain

Shot a rabbit from the back seat window

Sat and watched the summer corn grow

Ate ice cream in a desert dream

And got lost in father's singing

Too hot inside, too hot outside

Lazy days when I said let's go for a ride

We'll sail on Spirit Lake

Me, my pappy, and his lemonade

Shot a rabbit from the back seat window

Sat and watched the summer corn grow

Ate ice cream in a desert dream

And got lost in father's singing

Too hot inside, too hot outside

Lazy days when I said let's go for a ride

We'll sail on Spirit Lake

Me, my pappy, and his lemonade
