Cool breeze and that country air

Cool breeze and that country air
Some pecan trees and flowers in my hair

Grandaddy's smile and a catfish fry
Country music on the radio and the neighbors passin by

Sundresses and that southern cuisine
Church on Sundays and livin' in between...

Sunrise to sunset, no moment the same
Just climbin to heights, washed over by rain
My roots grew wings which took me far
I owe it all to one wishing star
I owe it all, to one wishing star

Ocean breeze and that gulf coast air
Saltwater and sand all up in my hair

Mama's smile and the bright blue sky
Sweet tea by the pitcher and warm apple pie

A little girl smiles buildin' her sandcastle dream
Bigger than she knows and greater than it seems

Sunrise to sunset, no moment the same
Just climbin to heights, washed over by rain
My roots grew wings which took me so far
I owe it all to one wishing star
I owe it all, to one wishing star

Starlight and moonlight tangled all in my hair
I owe it all, to that one wishing star

Rewind

Rewind/
A groundhog's day of sorts/
Playing over and again/
How did I get here/
Every day I open my eyes/
To where I've already been
