Jerry Axson - Celina, She Smiled Lyrics

Far away in Canaan county
Down a yellow sand road
Where twig sticks raise up doodle bugs
And strip down my heavy load
There's a memory of a girl there
Someone I used to know
I've not spoken her name in years now
I'm the only one who knows

Celina, she smiled
And the sky turned deep blue
Celina, she smiled
And I believed it all came true
Every wish we ever wished for
Every hope we ever had
Celina, she smiled
And chased away the bad

Wooden porches in the summer time
Old rusted chairs - green and white
You children best play quiet there
He's in the bottle tonight
We weren't rich but we weren't poor
Didn't know and did not care
We were growing up together
In the middle of nowhere

All that time we thought we had to make life better for us
Slowly faded before our eyes and settled down in the dust
Caught between the suns last rays and the darkness moving in
We lost each other in the night and we'll never get it back again
No, we'll never get it back again
No, we'll never get it back again
No, we'll never get it back again
No, we'll never get it back again
