Gracie Songtext
von Caroline Smith and the Good Night Sleeps

My little Gracie girl taught me to clean my body
Yeah, that little delicate thing
Oh, she licked my hands clean
And folded them back to my chest
As she said to me
"It ain't worth giving up if you don't even know what you're giving up
So just do me this one thing
Just hold on for me"

My little Gracie girl when we shared the backseat
With your head on top of my knee as we crossed the country
"Don't you start your worrying now"
Is what she said to me
And though she can barely speak
Her eloquence is something that I could learn from
So I'll hold on for her


Oh, Gracie
Gracie, what do you say?
Oh, Gracie
Gracie, let's run away
How's Spain or Paraguay?
Do you want to come?

And it was eight o' clock when we finally left Columbus
And it was eight fifteen when I turned around
And it was nine oh-five when you got me back in the car
And you licked your lips 'cause we weren't going back

Oh, Gracie
Gracie, what do you say?
Oh, Gracie
Gracie, let's have another day
With God and a lion's roar
Do you want to
Gracie
Gracie, what do you say?
Oh, Gracie
Gracie, let's run away
So how's Spain or Paraguay?
Do you want to
Do you want to
Do you want to leave?
