Wilma got no sleep last night a line of storms came through baby woke up cryin’ took awhile to soothe elbows on the table’s edge tired to the bone she heard a song in her head just seemed to come along
If you stand real still if you stand real still if you stand real still you can hear a heart beat
John made some money he laid it down at the cash and loan counter they had his guitar he sat down on a wood chair with a look on his face say now it’s good my friend after weeks and days
If you stand real still if you stand real still if you stand real still you can hear a heart beat
Little girl with a jump rope Showin’ off for a boy so much they don’t know so young and full of joy tangled hair and a summer dress and a shy look there laughter mixin’ with the dust the breeze lifts in the air
If you stand real still if you stand real still if you stand real still you can hear a heart beat.
