Ann-Marita: Music
Under the Iowa Sky
(Ann-Marita)
Words and music by Ann-Marita Garsed
Under The Iowa Sky
1. There's a gentle breeze, across the golden fields
On this late summer’s day
And the old boys are playing cards
Down at Hazel’s Café
(Pre-chorus):
I walk past a row of white picket fences
This moment in time fillin’ my senses
Oh, oh oh oh, like it was yesterday
(Chorus):
Oh oh oh, time’s been slippin’ by away from me
From school pep rallies and pecan pie
To pop star wannabe
But I can still hear, when I close my eyes
That soothing cricket lullaby
Under the Iowa sky
2. Starstruck at sixteen, had to get away
From that Midwestern town
So I placed my bets, and packed my bags
Sure got myself around
My heart’s been broken, blow by blow
I’ve prayed without faith, and paid without dough
Oh, each time seemed like I was homeward bound
(Chorus):
Oh oh oh, time’s been slippin’ by away from me
From school pep rallies and pecan pie
To pop star wannabe
But I can still hear, when I close my eyes
That soothing cricket lullaby
Under the Iowa sky
(Bridge):
Some memories will give you sleepless nights
Then others keep you strong and let you put up a good fight
(Chorus 2):
Oh oh oh, time, time’s been slippin’ away from me
I’m a country girl whose city life is right now what she needs
Though I can still hear, when I close my eyes
Yeah, I can still hear, when I close my eyes
I can still hear, when I close my eyes
That soothing cricket lullaby
Under the Iowa sky
Under the Iowa sky
Under the Iowa sky
Under the Iowa sky
