Iris DeMent Quotes
Fireflies inside of a mason jar,Acting big behind the wheel of daddy's car.Playing church around the old piano stand,You were quite a preacher and oh, we sang so grand.I remember every night what we would say and do:'If you've forgiven me, then I've forgiven you.'And now when life begins to get the best of me,I reminisce these childhood memories.
