As Ever It Was

her daddy has a farm close to town
so it wasn't that unusual to be see her around
at the rexall drug or the five and ten
even the co-op feed and grain every now and again

and i arrived the summer of my junior year
and got a job at the texaco pumping gas and selling beer
at the corner of third and main
and i'd see her once or twice nearly everyday

and i remember
us runnin' through the fields of gold
she and i in late september
something real had talkin' hold
we were fallin' end for end
hard and into love
as much today as it ever was

and her mamma original cajun french
south of louisiana a place called jeanerret
and that creole tongue my baby talks
sweet sugar cane cut from the stalk

and i remember
us runnin' through the fields of gold
on about late september
something real had talkin' hold
we were fallin' end for end
hard and into love
as much today as it ever was
as much today as it ever was
