Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush
Words & Music by Doug Momary

Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush as far as the eye can see
The scent of flowers in the wind, just a Texas memory.

Peaceful quiet scenes at evening. Hay bales silhouetted in the sun.
You bought me a Shetland pony named Chester, I'd take to the fields and run.
Cows slowly grazing in the morning.
You'd grab the feedbag with your well-worn hands.
Daddy there's so many moments I treasure,
But as a little girl I didn't understand.

That Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush as far as the eye can see.
Like the scent of flowers in the wind they're just a Texas memory.

Just like the father in heaven I know you're looking down on the family I have now.
I'm trying to do the things you taught me.
I'm trying to make you proud.
I'm so far away from home in this big ole city.
People tell me the baby has your eyes.
As the years go by I feel so lonely.
Daddy, I wish I could see you one more time.

Walking through those Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush as far as the eye can see.
Like the scent of flowers in the wind, you're just a Texas memory.
Just a Texas memory.
