Must have been late March When I packed the old truck And decided to go see What was up north. I’d met an old man Who came from Idaho Over at the cantina on night And he told me about The mountains there And how the road followed the Snake He told me about many things But mostly about An auburn haired girl He had known And how she had cooked for him A few years when he was working A cattle spread up in the panhandle. Told me he got a letter from her once Telling him he had a daughter now And that she looked just like she had In younger years. He handed me a package And told me if I was ever up that way Go drop by…and give her this. Well, anyway, I packed and headed north Must have been late March Cause the snow hadn’t melted off yet And in April I remember those mountain flowers I saw up there I found her His daughter And she had the prettiest auburn hair Soft brown eyes and a smile That would melt even an old cynic like me I gave her the package And was about to leave, when she stopped me Stood up on tiptoe and planted a kiss On my scruffy old cheek Dang If I didn’t wish I was 15 years younger ‘cause that kiss sure made me understand why the old man remembered. |
