They Thought I Was Asleep

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 ...........
