I Wanna Know Songtext

von Robert Earl Keen

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
Everyday 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 wanna 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 wanna know

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