Calico Plains (Live) - Pam Tillis[00:00:00]
Sweet Abilena looks out at the midwestern sky[00:00:13]
Sweet seventeen with a faraway look in her eyes[00:00:23]
She said I feel like a bird in a cage[00:00:33]
Come September I'm flying away[00:00:38]
And I said I'm gonna miss you[00:00:42]
Then I made her promise to write[00:00:45]
Since we were tall as the corn in the spring[00:00:53]
We shared every secret shared every dream[00:00:58]
So anxious to grow in the new summer rain[00:01:03]
Bloom like a rose on the calico plains[00:01:08]
How could she hear as we laughed on[00:01:24]
That warm summer night[00:01:26]
The tiny heart of the baby she carried inside[00:01:34]
I stood beside her when September came[00:01:44]
Watched her get married and caught the bouquet[00:01:49]
And like those hand me down dresses she gave me[00:01:54]
I made her dreams mine[00:01:57]
From a seat by the window on wings made of steel[00:02:03]
I stared at the patchwork over the fields[00:02:09]
Where young tears that once fell like warm summer rain[00:02:13]
Were turning to snow on the calico plains[00:02:19]
Sweet Abilena looks out at the midwestern sky[00:02:53]
Closer to thirty but farther away in her eyes[00:03:03]
She holds her babies like she holds her dreams[00:03:13]
Each night she kisses and rocks them to sleep while[00:03:18]
She reads the letters she makes me promise to write[00:03:23]
Sweet Abilena looks out at the midwestern sky[00:03:45]
