Summer Glory

I need a real banjo instead of a Garage Band loop, but I think the sketch has potential… What do you think?

Ol’ Father Joe is hoping for that apple pie
That Mama Sal will bake he makes that apple eye
And Jane is headed down to bring another boy home
And James is goin’ to play outside with friends.

I know there is another story
All together, summer glory
Evening light, a bowl of cherries
All together, the porch is swinging a chair
And the wind’s in my hair
Swinging a chair
And the wind’s in my hair

Old Uncle Bob is bringing grandma home right now
And Auntie Liza swears she’ll shoot down all my cows
That Cousin Shane he’s made the army, going soon
And James is goin’ to play outside with friends.

I know there is another story
All together, summer glory
Evening light, a bowl of cherries
All together, the porch is swinging a chair
And the wind’s in my hair
Swinging a chair
And the wind’s in my hair

These pictures, they are memories that I never had
But still I’d like to tell you of the tiny shack
Where birds and hearts are whistling a brand new tune
And James is goin’ to play outside with friends.

I know that there’s another story
All together, summer glory
Evening light, a bowl of cherries
All together, the porch is swinging a chair
And the wind’s in my hair
Swinging a chair
And the wind’s in my hair

Swinging a chair
And the wind’s in my hair

Swinging a chair
And the wind’s in my hair
