C5 It was Cinco de Mayo E5 Pillow case on his head C5 No more breathing time E5 An ambulance sped C5 It sped round every corner E5 Calling out his name Chorus A5 Shot a rabbit from the back seat window G5 Sat and watched in the summer corn row A5 Ate icecream in a desert dream G5 Got love in father seeing you A5 Too hot inside to hot outside G5 Lazy days when you said just go for a ride A5 We'll sail on Spirit Lake, G5 Me, my pappy, and his lemonade Tim and tina were my parents' names They got engaged they were inflamed Seduced by the lie of butterflies How they shimmer, how they glimmer Those butterflies We seven kids, we almost died Nearly put to death But lightning strike Instead there was hot pink Flashes in the sky We climb the rocks in snowing rain In search of magic power To heal our mother's pain Chorus Shot a rabbit from the back seat window Sat and watched in the summer corn row Ate icecream in a desert dream Got love in father seeing you Too hot inside to hot outside Lazy days when you said just go for a ride We'll sail on Spirit Lake, Me, my pappy, and his lemonade
