I Do Believe Drive-By Truckers

I do believe, I do believe, I do believe I saw you standing there
Sunlight in your hair reflecting in your eyes
I do believe, I do believe, I do believe I saw you standing there
Sunlight in your hair reflecting in your eyes

I was only five years old, riding in your top-down Mustang
Taking me out to the beach, your eyes matched the skies

I believe I saw your shadow looking like 1967
Percy Sledge on the radio or maybe Spanish songs
All my troubles swept away, the ocean on my scraped up knees
You could never stand to be away from me too long

I do believe, I do believe, I know that you would never leave me
And when you slipped the earthly binds, you still live in my mind
And when I'm gone, again I'll find my way back into your kitchen
And see you standing there in the window's shine

I do believe, I do believe you're standing there in emerald green
In the afternoon, oh, so long ago
