Highway Kind Lyrics

Once upon a time ago
Way up in the land of sleet and snow
How this fairy tale would go
I could not have known
I had searched around this world so mean
From Livingston to Palestine
Trying to pursue my dream
Of love
It was then I met this girl so fine
She made me think so fast I left my thoughts behind
And I tried to pass for a sophisticated
Northern man
I said why yes my dear I know exactly what you mean
Because there's not so much I haven't done or seen
And may I say your eyes are the loveliest
Shade of jade
I said come on baby
Come on baby
Come on baby
It was then I knew I had made my first mistake
She did not even start to wait
And as she turned around to walk away
This is what she had to say
She told me man I come from way down South
I've got a picket fence with a picket house
And I don't need no fast-talking Northern man
Like you aroundLovett Lyle - Highway Kind - http://motolyrics.com/lovett-lyle/highway-kind-lyrics.html
I said well come on baby
Come on baby
Come on baby
Honey I don't know just what you heard
But Alabama is my favorite word
And Birmingham
Is a long way from here
I could see her light began to shine
She turned back around her eyes met mine
And suddenly the whole world became
A better place
Even if it was only for an instant
Because it was then I knew I had made my
Second mistake
She told me man that was a real good try
But Alabama's not where I reside
I come from where the river is wide
And the crawfish hide
I said well come on baby
Come on baby
Come on baby
Honey I don't know just what you heard
But Louisiana is my favorite word
And New Orleans
Is a long way from here
She just looked at me and she shook her head
Your lines are pretty sad she said
