I Do Believe - Drive-By Truckers

I do believe I do believe

I do believe I saw you standing there

Sunlight in your hair

Reflecting in your eyes

I do believe I do believe

I do believe I saw you standing there

Sunlight in your hair

Reflecting in your eyes

I was only five years old

I was only five years old

Riding in your top-down Mustang

Taking me out to the beach

Your eyes matched the skies

I believe I saw your shadow looking like 1967

Percy Sledge on the radio

Or maybe Spanish songs

All my troubles swept away

The ocean on my scraped up knees

You could never stand to be away from me too long

I do believe I do believe I know that you would never leave me

And when you slipped the earthly binds you still live in my mind

And when I'm gone again I'll find

My way back into your kitchen

And see you standing there in the window's shine

I do believe I do believe

You're standing there in emerald green

In the afternoon

Oh so long ago
