dedicated with gratitude to Jane and Mary Ann, sisters on the prairie.

lyrics

You are shifting gears in your black Chevrolet
we are cruising the hills on a Sunday afternoon
I am riding shotgun, my hand in the breeze
that's my favorite memory of you

you have your camera and your sketch pad
I've got my head up in the clouds
it is summer and we're together
I can almost get there now

but, oh, Mary Ann when I dream my best dreams
you are with me on the wide open prairie
oh, sister let us go find another gravel road
won't you be sure to make haste and meet me
and we'll drive

your hands grip the wheel
as you pull to the side of the road
near an old abandoned farm
you are sitting on the hood your hair blows in the wind
as your pen glides along you sketch out the barn
I imagine all the stories of everything that happened here
of a wedding in September the birth of a baby
all the laughter and tears

I've made for you a wreath of flowers
for you to wear your upon your head
sister, let's be free and roam the hills now
and watch the clouds come and go, shadow on the bluestem
