lyrics

Lyda Rose
Kent Agee/Will Robinson

Standing all alone on highway nine
Early morning it was summer time
They were waiting for the six-o-five to take them away
She was quiet, they were holding hands
She knew her momma wouldn’t understand
He was watching her and wondering about the plans they’d made
Praying she would not forget how she felt when he first said...

Lyda Rose come with me out beyond these fields and fences
Lyda Rose come with me and see the things we dreamed about
Take this road where it leads find out where the other end is
We both know we won’t go if we don’t go now...Lyda Rose

Thinking ‘bout her hand-me-down suitcase
The pink dress she had packed away
That her momma made for graduation day, one he’d never seen before
Imagining how happy she would be
A married woman with a family
Coming back so everyone could see that she’d found something more
But when he said, the bus is here she could not hide her tears

(chorus)

That day sixty years ago
She sat and watched him leave alone
Now her suitcase sits by her bedroom door
With a faded dress she never wore

(chorus)
