Robert Earl Keen - I Wanna Know Lyrics

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

[Chorus:]
I wanna know
Did you father own an automobile
Or 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 got to say
I want to know

Words can paint a picture
Sharper than a photograph
I know that you can take me back
To times I've never seen
Got a lot of questions
There's so much I want to learn
You can make the pages turn
Living history

[Chorus]

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