Lyrics Robert Earl Keen – I Wanna Know
Text:
Have you got a minute?
A little time that we can spend
Open up and let me in
Share some memories
Every day goes by so fast
No one takes the time to ask how it used to be
I wanna know
Did your father own an automobile or a two horse carriage with wood spoke wheels?
I hear you used to walk to school seven miles a day
Did you ever ride a railroad train and the very first time you saw a plane
Did you think the world had gone insane? Tell me what you’ve got to say
I want to know.
Words can paint a picture
Sharper than a photograph
I know you can take me back
To times I’ll never see
Got a lot of questions
There’s so much I want to learn
You can make the pages turn in living history
I wanna know
Did your father own an automobile or a two horse carriage with wood spoke wheels?
I hear you used to walk to school seven miles a day
Did you ever ride a railroad train and the very first time you saw a plane
Did you think the world had gone insane? Tell me what you’ve got to say
I want to know.
Have you got a minute?
A little time that we could spend
Open up and let me in
Share some memories
