Tom T. Hall Lyrics
"I See"

(Tom T. Hall)

I see a boy and a girl in a pickup truck
Snuggle together and so much in love
Smile on their faces they sure look pleased I see
I see an old man cuttin' fireplace wood
Big red jacket and big red hood
Here on the highway the smoke smells good I see.

I see a little dog on the side of the road
Long been dead and long been cold
I see a boy bout five years old I see
I see a young man his shoes full of holes
Working in the carwash and his hands are cold
And that was me sometime ago I see.

--- Instrumental ---

I see a mobile home on the side of the hill
Surrounded by what it looks like deffodils
Some that survive the wind'd chill I see
I see an eighteen wheeler turned upon the side
They say how it broke out and the driver died
And it was tooking for his last ride I see.

I look at the sky nothing to see
I want to know and I want to believe
I feel the heart beatin' inside of me and I see...
