From the recording Under the Iowa Sky
Lyrics
<p>Under The Iowa Sky 1. There's a gentle breeze, across the golden fields On this late summer’s day And the old boys are playing cards Down at Hazel’s Café (Pre-chorus): I walk past a row of white picket fences This moment in time fillin’ my senses Oh, oh oh oh, like it was yesterday (Chorus): Oh oh oh, time’s been slippin’ by away from me From school pep rallies and pecan pie To pop star wannabe But I can still hear, when I close my eyes That soothing cricket lullaby Under the Iowa sky 2. Starstruck at sixteen, had to get away From that Midwestern town So I placed my bets, and packed my bags Sure got myself around My heart’s been broken, blow by blow I’ve prayed without faith, and paid without dough Oh, each time seemed like I was homeward bound (Chorus): Oh oh oh, time’s been slippin’ by away from me From school pep rallies and pecan pie To pop star wannabe But I can still hear, when I close my eyes That soothing cricket lullaby Under the Iowa sky (Bridge): Some memories will give you sleepless nights Then others keep you strong and let you put up a good fight (Chorus 2): Oh oh oh, time, time’s been slippin’ away from me I’m a country girl whose city life is right now what she needs Though I can still hear, when I close my eyes Yeah, I can still hear, when I close my eyes I can still hear, when I close my eyes That soothing cricket lullaby Under the Iowa sky Under the Iowa sky Under the Iowa sky Under the Iowa sky Copyright © 2004 Ann-Marita Garsed.
