Lyrics
Prettier than her momma, she's got eyes like Kentucky grass
And if you see her smile, she lights up like sparkling glass
I said I'm the one that really loves you, she said boy you don't have a chance
I said if you just give me a minute, she said boy it'll be your last
You know I, I love you, dream of you, adore you
Known her since forever, walked her home everyday from class
She never, ever noticed, I was hers from the very first glance
I said I'm the one that really loves you, she said boy you don't have a chance
I said if you just give me one evening, she said boy it'll be your last
You know I, I love you, dream of you, adore you
When will she understand that I just want to be her man
And what hat will it take for her to see that I'm the one that loves her like no other
Fifteen years later, three kid's and a big white dog
Sitting on the back porch, she leaned over and whispered soft
She said I'm the one that really loves you
I laughed girl you never had a chance
She said if you just give me a lifetime
I said girl you will be my last
Because I, I love you, dream of you, adore you (repeat and fade)
