Willie Mae Lyrics

Remember that day we walked across the whole town

Trying to blend in to the dogwood trees

Pretending we were all alone, we had our satellites down

Oh, Willie Mae, imagine where we would be

Have I heard from James up north you're back home now

He told me you're working for your daddy installing heat

Seaside's not too far from me anyhow

Oh, Willie Mae, do you think we can meet

I know you want withdrawal from your past life, you've made that clear

The only thing you left with was yourself and a lonely tear

Remember that old park bench near the retaining wall

The one that faced the woods, we'd sit there thoughtless for days

Those memories don't seem much to me at all

Oh, Willie Mae, our friendship's gone in the haze
