Billy Joe Shaver - Sunbeam Special lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Back in my memory, a special little place

A country boy stands with a smile on his face

Watching all the people in the passenger car

Wonder if he'd ever get a chance to go that far

(Chorus)

Sunbeam Special spinin' round the den

Waking up memories of my childhood again

Taking me to places I never have been

Sunbeam Special, I'm holding the blame

(Verse 2)

Higgy Boss is goin' a-chasing his tail

He's up and at the barking, raising all kinds of hell

Good God almighty candy-bared the door

Rat along the windows, shook the hell out of the floor

(Chorus)

Sunbeam Special spinin' round the den

Waking up memories of my childhood again

Taking me to places I never have been

Sunbeam Special, I'm holding the blame

(Instrumental break)

(Verse 3)

How Quicksy out sat(?) on the railroad track

Sunflowers bent and swayed all the way back

Critters in the tall grass went running for their life

Sunbeam special disappeared in the night

(Chorus)

Sunbeam Special spinin' round the den

Waking up memories of my childhood again

Taking me to places I never have been

Sunbeam Special, I'm holding the blame
