White cotton shirt
on the clothesline
long soft sleeves waving hello
on the blue sky breeze
Pearl buttons winking
in the kiss
of sunlight
The smell of childhood summer
in the flower fields
of Wyoming mountains
The feeling of freedom
connecting to mother earth
A flash of knowing
where I came from
Cheese and sour pickles
on spongy white bread
wrapped in brown paper
In the long grass fields
behind the barn
14 years young
about to embark on a new life
A new journey into adultness
sex drugs and rock and roll
walking the line
just enough
keep it real
Saying a prayer
please help me stay
on the right path
the good road
the high road
the red road
Staying in the middle
of the medicine wheel
of my life
on the clothesline
long soft sleeves waving hello
on the blue sky breeze
Pearl buttons winking
in the kiss
of sunlight
The smell of childhood summer
in the flower fields
of Wyoming mountains
The feeling of freedom
connecting to mother earth
A flash of knowing
where I came from
Cheese and sour pickles
on spongy white bread
wrapped in brown paper
In the long grass fields
behind the barn
14 years young
about to embark on a new life
A new journey into adultness
sex drugs and rock and roll
walking the line
just enough
keep it real
Saying a prayer
please help me stay
on the right path
the good road
the high road
the red road
Staying in the middle
of the medicine wheel
of my life
