lyrics

LOW SOFT SHOULDER
Composed by Mary Edwards ©2011 Summerlin Music/ASCAP

Rays from the sun warm the Brooklet Highway
Green grass below
Dreaming of the things I’ve seen from long ago
A whole lot hasn’t changed here
My memory is long
It’s a place that seems familiar
‘cause I feel like I belong

When you see the signs and they’re filled with meaning
somehow you know
far beyond the moss trees to the river flow
I’ll keep that nice warm feeling
and leave the rest behind
I’ve found an open road
and a new place to ease my mind

When you get to the low soft shoulder
on Johnny Mercer Drive
make a right at the turn I told you
and watch the day go by
the stretch in the road in the afternoon
It makes all the time fly
Nothing will put you in the mood
like a crimson Southern sky

Thinking about all the things that matter
well, they’re all clear
there’s a sense of comfort in the atmosphere
when there’s no anticipation
for where we need to be
now we’re really knowing
what it feels like to be free

When you get to the low soft shoulder
on Johnny Mercer Drive
make a right at the turn I told you
and watch the day go by
the stretch in the road in the afternoon
it makes all the time fly
nothing will put you in the mood
like a Jimmy Webb lullaby
