I thought she was it, for sure the one
She took my heart, from the very start
I was just hanging out, having some fun
Had a feeling I needed to play this smart
Looked at her, as I gave a polite smile
I'll never forget her in the Blackhawks shirt

I asked the bartender to send her a shot
Why not? it was worth a try, at this point
I'll be honest my friends, she was so hot
We started talking and finally left the joint
Being out of town, I asked her about DFW
She showed me around, I enjoyed the view

That day was something else, my friend
If I could, I'd definitely go back there again
Corona on ice, relaxing in the sand
That girl by my side and her dog Benjamin
It would get me away from the blues I'm in
Knowing she'd be there for me everyday

Then I wake up, and realize it was a dream
None of it was real, not one **** thing
So it's back to my daily boring routine
I have some Corona, that's a good thing
Gotta love those dreams, such jokers
Guess I'll have a beer and play video poker

The smell of burning leaves in the fall moonlight
The sound of the traffic, as it passes by my place
Watching the kids running around, having fun
As I’m watching the news and drinking a beer
Fall weather, there’s nothing like it my friend
Beautiful sunsets, bonfires, and warm hoodies

Back in high school, I remember it quite well
Football games, hanging with friends, such fun
Weekends in town, seeing my girl, just being kids
Never knowing what was ahead, didn’t care to know
Thinking about the moment, enjoying it while it lasts
Girlfriends come and go, as do the friends, some stay

You hang on to the good times, they were so fun
You try to forget the bad times, as they hurt too much
You try to remember things that you forgot about
You remember things, that you completely forgot about
You want to go back, and ask that one girl out
The one you were too scared to ask out

Great weather brings back a mixed bag of memories
You never know what to expect, it can get interesting
Some may be good, some bad, some to make you laugh
Just remember one thing, you’ll always have them to share
Hang on to them good, hang on to them tight, they’re yours
Write them down if you must, journal them along the way

I'd like to sit and explain all this to you
Maybe buy you a drink if that's cool
I don't mean any harm, I'm a quiet guy
I just want you to know I'm really shy
So if I seem to stumble with my words
Just understand this is hard for me

I've been trying to figure out what to say
Wasn't even sure if I was worth your time
Seeing you makes what was bad, a better day
All I'm asking is for you to hear me out
Your pretty blue eyes and long blonde hair
Makes me wish I was the guy you're taking home

Hangin' in the bed of the truck, cool summer night
Nobody but us, and George Strait on the radio
With a six pack, blanket, and a clear Midwest sky
Just talking and doing whatever we **** well please
I'm in love with you darling, it may not seem that way
But I'm crazy about you, I'd love to be with you every day

Just a moment of your time, is all I'm asking
Don't need anything more, nothing less
Just hear me out, then you can walk away
But do me a favor, be honest, don't lie to me
If you can say you're not feeling this, that's okay
But if you do, always remember I just wanna be with you

Holding you next to me, in the winter months
Feeling you near me as we share our dreams
Knowing what we always wanted is finally here
I can’t think of anything better to do right now
Than to make passionate sweet love to you
Knowing that what we have, will always remain

Your beautiful smile pulls me in, I cannot lie
Your eyes, they lock me in and bring me to my knees
The touch of your hands, I beg for them every day
The sound of your voice, it helps guide the way
I never want this to go away, never leave my side
Together we will see it all, one amazing ride

Kissing your sweet lips under the stars so bright
Holding you by the fire on a Midwestern night
I never want these moments to go, only to grow
Drinking wine from the bottle, feeling the love flow
The little things that make my life so much better
Hearing your laugh and seeing you in my sweater

I see you out with him, and I’m not impressed
Lying to me and saying he’s just a friend
For once, could you just be straight with me
Your ignorance is nothing but a slap in the face
I could run laps around you two, without trying
I’m leaving, heading back home, where I belong

The dreams I once shared, they turned into dust
Your lies turned all of my memories into pain
The love we had, it was nothing more than a joke
You were working a way into my heart, only to break it
Now that I’m on my knees, you’ve taken all you wanted
Left me behind, trying to start over from the beginning

I hope he does to you, what you’ve done to me
I know it sounds cruel, but it’s the honest truth
You don’t care about anybody else, but yourself
Love is one thing you know nothing about, never will
You think you do, but I have news for you… no way
You show no respect, no love, no patience, it’s so sad

As I pack my stuff and look things over one more time
I leave you with the one final though, I hope you remember
Don’t ever call me, don’t ever look for me, I’m through with you
I need you out of my life, I need to move on, I need to completely heal
I’m on a long road to looking for a new love, not sure it’ll happen
This really did me in, I hope one day things get better, I really do

Her lips are like red cherry wine
Her hair is brunette, soft to the touch
Her arms, they hold me when I’m down
Her smile, it lets me know I’m going to be alright
Her touch, it’s unlike any other in this world
Her heart, it’s there for me… at least I hope

She seems to want me, but she’s kind of distant
She starts to tell me things, but then closes up
She will open her heart to me, but close it right away
She listens to me, is understanding, but I often wonder
Is she scared or she hiding something? I just don’t know
I love her so much, but I don’t want to hurt her, I’m scared

I’ve been hurt before, so many times, I lost count
I don’t want to jump to conclusions, assuming things
I just want her to know how much I really care
But knowing I’m not going to hurt her, I’m not that way
It’s hard to explain the feelings I have, they’re pretty deep
I just want her to know, I’m not one of them guys who cheat

Would you give me a chance, if I asked?
I’m not begging, I’m not making a scene
All I ask is a simple yes or no from you
If only you could see how much this means
I think you’d understand things a bit better
Maybe then, you’d open yourself up to me

I know it’s hard, after all you’ve been through
But know this much, I would never hurt you
I’m too scared, too shy and just not that type
I think the world of you, my heart races for you
You give me something to look forward too
All my worries are gone, when you’re near me

To have you by me everyday, would mean the world
Let me know that this is something you feel, as well
Please don’t hold back the feelings, I need to know
I have to try and move on, if this wasn’t meant to be
You’re so beautiful, I want you so bad, it’s easy to see
But if it’s isn’t meant to be, then friends we’ll always be
