Odessa Hummed Low
[Verse 1]
The green truck hummed low
Oh, we took only back roads
We drove miles of country
We saw an old barn burning
Skies were a light blue
All the billboards read untrue
I read them, each one
We passed by the thousands
Was a full sun and I knew
That up rose a bright moon
Casting shadows like dancing sparrows
[Chorus]
Sing me baby, home, sing me baby, home
Run baby, run baby, run baby, run
Run from the one who you know that you love
Run baby, run baby, run baby, baby, run
[Verse 2]
Oh, we turned on the radio
And listened to talk shows
'Til the engines lowly drugged out into sleep
The desert sunrise
Was a feast to our eyes
The dry heat and hot wind
Caressing our skins
We'll go no further
We will build us a home here
For a time, not forever
Just you and I, dear
[Chorus]
Sing me baby, home, sing me baby, home
Run baby, run baby, run baby, run
Run from the one who you know that you love
Run baby, run baby, run baby, baby, run
Sing me baby, home, sing me baby, home
Run baby, run baby, run baby, run
Run from the one who you know that you love
Run baby, run baby, run baby, baby, run
