Famous Words Robert Earl Keen

Don't worry about me Ma
I'll be back real soon
I just gotta spread my wings
Touch that alabastor moon

Then he left her in a cloud of dust
With a rocket in his head
That was twenty months ago
She guesses he's dead

We'll meet here on the corner
Midnight on the third
You know me little sister
I always keep my word

Then she stepped into the traffic
And blended out of site
Lil' sis ain't seen or heard from her
Ever since that night

Sometimes it just ain't Christmas
There's too much to do
I need something else for your mom
And a little gift for you

So I'm goin' into town
But I'll be back by ten
It's dawnin' on him now
She'll not return again
