lyrics

She was still just a girl
When I first saw her there
The wind from the Great Lakes
Danced soft in her hair
A daffodil tucked
Nice and snug by her ear
The better life's beauty
To hear

She was one of those loners
Who was rarely alone
Time couldn't catch her
So she let it move on
A coffee-stained song
She sang out to no one
And her feet in the water
Of the Hopper House Run

We were only just married
When I drove her back down
And got a small room in
A half-a-horse town
Picked out a grass patch
That we could call ours
And spent the night counting
the stars

Well we passed the time slowly
With big talk and dreams
Of got-to's and wishes
And maybes and seems
We planned and we schemed
‘Til the words weighed a ton
With our feet in the waters
Of the hopper house run

Well the stream waved goodbye
And our feet they went dry
And together we walked into life

She was just an old lady
When I took her there last
Kicked off our shoes
Like we had in the past
Time had been kinder
Than it sure was to most
That water was runnin’
Like it just seen a ghost

Well we pulled up our britches
And the stream kissed our knees
And we drifted as far back
As the water could see
A foot in the grave
And a face to the sun
‘Til death do us part from
The Hopper House Run

Brandon Mullis Augusta, Georgia

I'm a primarily acoustic singer/songwriter who's been writing lyrical folk/Americana music for more than 20 years. I play all over the eastern USA, and my influences range from Neil Young to Alice in Chains to Jason Isbell to David Allan Coe. I love good melodies and heartfelt stories, and I try to pass along the best ones I can.
