I was a real Casanova in my home town
|
Never really thought about settlin' down
|
That is until you came around
|
Yeah, it's been a few years but I remember it well
|
I was a rowdy no-gooder, you were hotter than hell
|
I spent all my time hot on your trail
|
|
You could've run to the mountains
|
Cou've sailed across the deep blue sea
|
I knew from the start
|
I couldn't let you get away from me
|
|
Well, your mama and your daddy, they didn't approve
|
They told me I was trash and I was born to lose
|
But that didn't faze me, I was gonna have you
|
So, I begged and I pleaded something I'd never done
|
As sure as tomorrow has a rising sun
|
There was no mistake, honey, you were the one
|
|
You could've run to the mountains
|
Could've sailed across the deep blue sea
|
But one thing's for sure
|
You would never get away from me
|
|
The sweetest things in life take you by surprise
|
Like the heaven I see lookin' in your eyes
|
Though you weren't sure how an outlaw's love would be
|
I made up my mind not to let you get away from me
|
|
[Break]
|
|
As we get a little closer to our rocking chairs
|
I think back on the good life that we have shared
|
And how our love has grown down through the years
|
So snuggle up to me baby, turn out the lights
|
There's nowhere on this earth I'd rather be tonight
|
Than lying in your arms holdin' you tight
|
|
As time rolls by one thing's still clear to see
|
I'd have been a fool to let you get away from me
|
Yeah, yeah you could've run to the mountains
|
Could've sailed across the deep blue sea
|
But I'd have been a fool to let you get away from me
|
