about

Seymour waits on a bench in the Fort Worth Greyhound station.

lyrics

Well there are only fifty-three things I remember
One of them is a scratch and sniff of rain
It made me close my eyes and kiss the ground
Thank the Lord for coming round
And I knew
That was the best day of my life

Seymour waits on a hard bench in the Fort Worth Greyhound station. Polished sunday-go-to-meeting boots, sharp toes and riding heels. He's got new jeans, a flannel jacket and a clean white shirt for traveling. One big hand holds the other in his lap. Now at first glance you might take Seymour for a rough old Texan. He's a big boned fellow with arms capable of carrying around hundred pound feed bags all day. But you look again and you see a lot of the child in Seymour.

Well in my pocket I've got a hologram of mother
She had it made for me just before she died
And when I tip it's silvery surface
I can watch her blow a kiss and wink and eye
And I knew
That was the best day of my life
