They Thought I Was Asleep Lyrics


We were driving back from the country one night
Mom and Dad up the front
The rest of us snug and tight
My kid brother gizzin for a little minute
Till my big sister told him he'd better quit it or die
It'd be a long day in the country side
Playin with the cousin on my mothers side
The sound of the radio closed our eyes
drifting across the seat ....
Then I fell asleep
Well I dont know what woke me up
Maybe a country song or a big truck passin by
And I could hear momma and papa talkin
Papa said something
And momma began to cry

No more words then just soft songs
And my head began to throb
I just layed there playing dog
Breathing slow and deep
They thought I was asleep
They thought I was asleep
Instrumental 1:36 -2:22
It seem like forever till the (somber)? stopped
And they talked for a little
Just to soft to hear
And daddy kept looking at the sight of a face
One hand on the wheel
One hand circling her head
Head lights shine'n from the other way
Showed tears on the cheeks on daddys face
I prayed for Jesus to send his grace
And all our souls to keep
And back then I believed
They thought I was asleep
The night was dark and deep
How I wish I was asleep ...........
