Story Behind The Song
Twila was a girl in my second grade class at school in the Great Northwest. She told me she was returning to the deep south one day. I never saw her again. Always wondered what happened to Twila, a misfit for whom making friends was not so easy. But mysterious and pretty.

Lyrics
Twila Darling
Didja make it back to Tupelo?
Is your heart still set on
Wandering
The open pines
Like in Spokane?
Twila Darlin
Do you still put on a flower dress
With a goodwill sweater buttoned up
Only at the neck
Big dreamer
Amber waves of home
Of she I sing
Sacajawea Blood
pumping through America
Twila Darlin
Do you sell stuff at the rodeo
Do you listen to the radio
Or satellite
Or Christian metal?
Twila Darlin
Didja fa-ha-hollow your bliss
Didja ever think it'd end like this
And is it over yet?
Beads and feathers
All god's treasures
Lost on pilgrims' pride
Scorched in the valley
Queens (Brooklyn) to Cali
Dead inside
Twila Darlin
