Robert Earl Keen I Wanna Know (Live) lyrics

Have you got a minute?
A little time that we can spend
Open up and let me in
Share some memories

People in a hurry
Every day goes by so fast
No one takes the time
To ask how it used to be

I wanna know, did your father own an automobile
Or a two horse carriage with wood spoke wheels?
I hear you used to walk to school seven miles a day

Did you ever ride a railroad train
And the very first time you saw a plane?
Did you think the world had gone insane?
Tell me what you've got to say? I want to know

Words can paint a picture sharper than a photograph

I know you can take me back to times I'll never see
Got a lot of questions, there's so much I want to learn
You can make the pages turn in living history

I wanna know, did your father own an automobile
Or a two horse carriage with wood spoke wheels?
I hear you used to walk to school seven miles a day

Did you ever ride a railroad train
And the very first time you saw a plane?
Did you think the world had gone insane?
Tell me what you've got to say? I want to know

Have you got a minute?
A little time that we could spend
Open up and let me in
Share some memories
