lyrics

Blvd. is open
And her soul is hummin’
She says her life’s a blessing
Well she’s got more comin’, child,
Don’t look down

Dancing in the kitchen
With the widows open
Her friends are all around her
And they’re laughing, joking, now
Young and loud

She had her first heart break,
Her first uplifting off the ground
She learned that after the pain,
The joy would always come around

Back in Alabama
On the back porch swingin’
The lake it waiting for her
And her family’s singing loud
Full and proud

Cooking in the kitchen
With her best friend talking
The boys are on the lawn
The dogs are outside jumping round
Oh home town

She found she loved her songs
She loved they’d gather people round
Opened her heart up wide
And let it rise up with the sound

and all her webs inside
she came to think that they were alright
and she knows
that she might be
and she knows
that she might be
and she knows
that she must be fine

biking through the city
with her friends and sweating
they’re heading to the springs
and you can bet they’re jumping in
summer swim

talking to Anne Garland
and you know she’s listening
her wisdom’s asking questions
and her love is sinking in
oh best friend

she had a new heart break
a confrontation with the ground
opened her heart up wide
and let it rise up
