greyed

It was seven hundred fence posts from your place to ours
Neither one of us was old enough to drive a car
Sometimes it was raining, sometimes it would shine
We wore out that gravel road between your house and mine

I'd start walking your way
You'd start walking mine
We'd meet in the middle
Neath that old Georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground
Cause we'd both give a little
Ain't no road to long
When we meet in the middle

It's been seven years tomorrow since we said our vows
Under that old pine tree, you ought to see it now
Standing in the back yard reminding me and you
That if we don't see eye to eye there's something we can do

I'd start walking your way
You'd start walking mine
We'd meet in the middle
Neath that old Georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground
Cause we'd both give a little
Ain't no road to long
When we meet in the middle

Babe, I love the way we work it out
That's what love is all about

I'd start walking your way
You'd start walking mine
We'd meet in the middle
Neath that old Georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground
Cause we'd both give a little
Ain't no road to long
When we meet in the middle

I'd start walking your way
You'd start walking mine
We'd meet in the middle
Neath that old Georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground
Cause we'd both give a little
Ain't no road to long
When we meet in the middle

I'd start walking your way
You'd start walking mine
We'd meet in the middle
Neath that old Georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground
Cause we'd both give a little
Ain't no road to long
When we meet in the middle

Love doesn't come with a contract
You give me this, I give you that
It's scary business, your heart and soul is on the line
Baby, why else would I be standing 'round here so tongue-tied

If I knew what I was doing, I'd be doing it right now
I would be the best damn poet, silver words out of my mouth
My words might not be magic but they cut straight to the truth
So if you need a lover and a friend
Baby, I'm in, I'm in, baby, I'm in, I'm in

Baby, come on in, the water's fine
I'll be right here, you take your time
Just let me hold you and we'll both take that leap of faith
It's like I told you there's no guarantee when you feel this way

If I knew what I was doing, I'd be doing it right now
I would be the best damn poet, silver words out of my mouth
My words might not be magic but they cut straight to the truth
So if you need a lover and a friend
Baby, I'm in, I'm in

Baby, come here next to me
I'll show you how good it can be
I'll breathe each breath you breathe I can
Pour out everything I am

If I knew what I was doing, I'd be doing it right now
I would be the best damn poet, silver words out of my mouth
My words might not be magic but they cut straight to the truth
So if you need a lover and a friend
If you need a lover and a friend
Baby, I'm , baby, I'm in, I'm in, baby I'm in, I'm in

Baby, come here next to me
I'll show you how good it can be
I'll breathe each breath you breathe I can
Pour out everything I am

Baby, come here next to me
I'll show you how good it can be

Baby, I'm in
I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in

Baby, come here next to me
I'll show you how good it can be
[Incomprehensible]
I'm in, I'm in

A woman is a mystery
A man just can't understand
Sometimes all it takes to please her
Is the touch of your hand

An' other times you gotta take it slow
An' hold her all night long
Heaven knows there's so many ways
A man can go wrong

Must be doin' somethin' right
I just heard ya sigh
Ya lean into my kiss
And close those deep blue need-you eyes

Don't know what I did
To earn a love like this
But baby I must be doin' somethin' right

Anywhere you wanna go
Baby show me the way
I'm open to suggestions
Mmm, whatever you say

Tonight's about givin' you what you want
Whatever it takes
Girl I hope I'm on the right road
Judgin' by the smile on your face

Must be doin' somethin' right
I just heard ya sigh
Ya lean into my kiss
And close those deep blue need-you eyes

Don't know what I did
To earn a love like this
But baby I must be doin' somethin' right, oh baby mmm

Don't know what I did
To earn a love like this
But baby I must be doin' somethin' right

Must be doin' somethin' right, oh yeah
Must be doin' somethin' right
Must be doin' somethin' right
(Doin' something right)
Mmm

Don't know what I did
(Don't know what I did)
Must be doin' somethin' right
Must be doin' somethin' right

Girl you got me going
Yea I think you know it
Oh I'm ready for this ride
So come on take my hand
Cuz only you, you understand
How to kick this feeling into

Drive all night with me
Sing my favorite song and sleep
Under the stars on the hood of our car
It's all I've ever wanted
All I ever wanted was to
See you in the pale moon light
Just the way ya look tonight
And maybe some day
If love comes our way
We'll be walking in the meadow in the early spring
You'll be twirling in a sundress wearing my ring
Can you see it
Girl I believe em that
It's true
All I ever wanted
All I ever really wanted was you

If life is what you make it
Here's my chance I'll take it
You know I wanna make you mine
I have this picture in my mind
You were in it all the time
So baby hold on tight

And drive all night with me
Sing my favorite song and sleep
Under the stars on the hood of our car
It's all I've ever wanted
All I ever wanted was to
See you in the pale moon light
Just the way ya look tonight
And maybe some day
If love comes our way
We'll be walking in the meadow in the early spring
You'll be twirling in a sundress wearing my ring
Can you see it
Girl I believe em that
It's true
All I ever wanted
All I ever really wanted was you

All I ever wanted
Was to see you in the pale moon light
Just the way ya look tonight
And maybe some day
If love comes our way
We'll be walking in the meadow in the early spring
You'll be twirling in a sundress wearing my ring
Can you see it
Girl I believe em that
It's true
All I ever wanted
All I ever really wanted was you

She's a yellow pair of running shoes
A holey pair of jeans
She looks great in cheap sunglasses
She looks great in anything
She's I want a piece of chocolate
Take me to a movie
She's I can't find a thing to wear
Now and then she's moody

She's a Saturn with a sunroof
With her brown hair a-blowing
She's a soft place to land
And a good feeling knowing
She's a warm conversation
That I wouldn't miss for nothing
She's a fighter when she's mad
And she's a lover when she's loving

And she's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
I talk about her, I go on and on and on
'Cause she's everything to me

She's a Saturday out on the town
And a church girl on Sunday
She's a cross around her neck
And a cuss word 'cause its Monday
She's a bubble bath and candles
Baby come and kiss me
She's a one glass of wine
And she's feeling kinda tipsy

She's the giver I wish I could be
And the stealer of the covers
She's a picture in my wallet
Of my unborn children's mother
She's the hand that I'm holding
When I'm on my knees and praying
She's the answer to my prayer
And she's the song that I'm playing

She's the voice I love to hear
Someday when I'm ninety
She's that wooden rocking chair
I want rocking right beside me
Everyday that passes
I only love her more
Yeah, she's the one
That I'd lay down my own life for

And she's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
She's everything to me
Yeah she's everything to me

Everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
She's everything to me

Would you go with me if we rolled down streets of fire
Would you hold on to me tighter as the summer sun got higher
If we roll from town to town and never shut it down

Would you go with me if we were lost in fields of clover
Would we walk even closer until the trip was over
And would it be okay if I didn't know the way

If I gave you my hand would you take it
And make me the happiest man in the world
If I told you my heart couldn't beat one more minute without you, girl
Would you accompany me to the edge of the sea
Let me know if you're really a dream
I love you so, so would you go with me

Would you go with me if we rode the clouds together
Could you not look down forever
If you were lighter than a feather
Oh, and if I set you free, would you go with me

If I gave you my hand would you take it
And make me the happiest man in the world
If I told you my heart couldn't beat one more minute without you, girl
Would you accompany me to the edge of the sea
Help me tie up the ends of a dream
I gotta know, would you go with me
I love you so, so would you go with me

My oh my, you're so good-looking
Hold yourself together like a pair of bookends
But I've not tasted all your cooking
Who are you when I'm not looking?

Do you pour a little something on the rocks?
Slide down the hallway in your socks?
When you undress, do you leave a path?
Then sink to your nose in a bubble bath?

My oh my, you're so good-looking
Hold yourself together like a pair of bookends
But I've not tasted all your cooking
Who are you when I'm not looking?

I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know

Do you break things when you get mad?
Eat a box of chocolates 'cause you're feelin' bad?
Do you paint your toes 'cause you bite your nails?
Call up momma when all else fails?

Who are you when I'm not around?
When the door is locked and the shades are down?
Do you listen to your music quietly?
And when it feels just right, are you thinkin' of me?

I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know

My oh my, you're so good-looking
But who are you when I'm not looking?
