Marnie Cook: Some Tunes
The Missouri Song
(Marnie Cook)
I remember cotton floating by
Like slow motion through the sky
Loneliness makes me that way
The Columbia was cold year 'round
Since I got back to town
I see all you guys think the same
Barbed wire for miles and mies
Clapboard shacks and roadhouse Smiles
Where would I go if you were Down the road a ways
On and on together now
The Missouri welcomed me back Home
With the mud between my toes
Electric poles for miles and miles
Don't want to be like those tree
Rising from the muddy deep
Life's so long livin' that way
Chorus
Warm Missouri won't you wash over Me
Wrap me and hold on
Chorus
Warm Missouri
Wash over me
