Lyrics

VERSE 1 I remember smiling at her Red Bandana. Her eyes made certain, not to miss Her tender shiny head. Her son said, Matt, by way of introduction. While a southern breeze blew through her window Opened by her bed. Am-G-D-C(walk down) – Am CHORUS Wake me up… Oh, Mother Mountain. Wake me up… Unto the hills. Wake me up… Oh, Mary Rome, oh Mary Rome. Lay your wounded, healing hands upon my soul. Rest your wounded, healing hands upon my soul. D-G / / D-C(walk down) – Am – C – G VERSE 2 The white coats washed out lighter shades of pain. But, your morphine, magic smile, Blew soul winds through my name. I’ve circled God a thousand times or more. But, your legacy remains to find me, Knocking on your door. CHORUS VERSE 3 I remember crying softly, on the highway. While your son was screaming rhymes to God And I begged him to reply. But, I felt a peace that passes understanding. I cast my eyes unto the hills, And let my spirit fly.
