lyrics

First time I met that girl she was wearing a purple dress, or maybe it was blue? I don't remember I was drunk as piss.
In the morning I got a message on my telephone. It said, "Hey get up boy, it's time to go."
I met her up in the city. She was wearing a summer dress.

We poured liquor in our coffee to drink in the park.
After the sun went down we hit up all those goddamn crowded bars.
We drank southern comfort, and yelled to hear each other, until she said, "It's getting late boy. Sleep's calling my number."
We left the lights of the city, I reached out to hold her little hand.

She said better hold on, better make it last long.

First time I left that girl she sealed it with a kiss.
In an old elevator she said,"Well darling, see ya later."
8,000 miles and an ocean in between, we talked across hours and computer screens.
She said, "Meet me in a southern city when I get home in May."

I showed her Atlanta, Georgia. She showed me Tampa, Florida.
I went to Colorado. She went to New Mexico.
10-hour drives, two-hour flights, ain't nothing gonna keep me from that girl tonight.
She is the light of the city. Ain't it strange how love finds a way.

She said better hold on, better make it last long.
