Sunbeam Special Songtext
von Billy Joe Shaver

Back in my memory, a special little place
Where a country boy stands with a smile on his face
Watching all the people in the passenger car
Wondered if he′d ever get a chance to go that far

Sunbeam Special spinnin' round the den
Waking up memories of my childhood again
Taking me to places I′ll never have been
Sunbeam Special, I'm holding the wing

Higgy Boss is goin' a-chasing his tail
He′s up and at the barking, raising all kinds of hell
Good God Almighty, candy-bared the door
Rat along the windows, shook the hell out of the floor


Sunbeam Special spinnin′ round the den
Waking up memories of my childhood again
Taking me to places I'll never have been
Sunbeam Special, I′m holding the wing

How quick say half-house on the railroad track
Sunflowers bent and swayed all the way back
Critters in the tall grass went running for their life
Sunbeam Special disappeared in the night

Sunbeam Special spinnin' round the den
Waking up memories of my childhood again
Taking me to places I′ll never have been
Sunbeam Special, I'm holding the wing
Sunbeam Special, I′m holding the wing
