Lyrics

Verse 1:
I had just learned to drive when Katie and I
Had a date on Saturday night
Our hearts locked in step, learning the waltz
We?d dance the rest of our lives

Chorus:
And sometimes I still hear her laughing
Like long ago when we were sixteen years old
And I remember when we parked our car
Where the morning glories grow wild by the road
Where the morning glories grow wild by the road

Verse 2:
We were living in Virginia in May ?69
I was happy to be home from ?Nam
But the bittersweet news was nine months away
When Katie would soon be a mom

Chorus:
And sometimes I still hear her crying
As she gave birth and left this earth to go home
It was a sad day when I watched them go
Where the morning glories grow wild by the road
Where the morning glories grow wild by the road

Verse 3:
Now the years have rolled on and I have grown old
And wonder what went with the time
But not a day has gone by that I haven?t kept
The memory of her in my mind

Chorus:
These days I?m hearing her whisper
And it sounds like she?s calling me home
So when it?s my time to go, lay me down
Where the morning glories grow wild by the road
Where the morning glories grow wild by the road
