She was leaning on a rail in a cotton dress Summer tanned pretty, little perfect mess With a story that could only be anybody's guess And I was thinking that I probably didn't stand a chance But I rolled up my sleeves, walked up and I said Hey, I know I don't know you but I'd kinda like a shot She said, I saw you comin over, I already thought it over And ok, so now what
And I said, well I got a car, she said, there's something At least it's a start, I said, it's better than nothing I ain't in no hurry but I'm ready when you are And she said, where do you think all this is going I said, there ain't no way of knowing I guess I hadn't thought it through that far But I got a car
So, we let the wheels turn and the windows down We let ourselves go all the way through town She never said stop and I never asked her why We drove into the night, when outta nowhere She said, I'd give anything to never go back there And I kinda wish this day would never end She said, I could use a change but I don't even know where to begin
And I said, well I got a car, she said, there's something At least it's a start, I said, it's better than nothing I ain't in no hurry but I'm ready when you are And she said, where do you think all this is going I said, there ain't no way of knowing I really hadn't thought it through that far And I can't promise you the moon and stars But I got a car
We got lost in the miles, lost track of the days 'Til we finally found a stopping place When the doctor's said, you know what's on the way? And we found ourselves in a little white house One Sunday morning, rain pouring down She said, I think it's time but all the lines are out
And her eyes teared up and she said, what are we gonna do now? And I said, well I got a car, she said, there's something You think it'll start, I said, it's already running Got your things in the back and I'm ready when you are She said, are you sure it'll get us where we're goin'? I said, if there's one thing I know girl, it's gotten us this far And I don't mean to hurry but I'm ready when you are
