The first naked lady I ever saw,
|
Was that tattoo on my uncle's arm.
|
On daddy's farm that summer he drove up,
|
And helped us build that barn.
|
He rolled up his sleeves,
|
His arms were lean.
|
He flexed and made her dance for me.
|
I turned red and we both laughed.
|
And hoped my daddy didn't see.
|
|
He got all teary-eyed and serious,
|
When I asked him who she was.
|
That's Adaliene,
|
In '63.
|
I wish you could have met her,
|
She was everything to me.
|
Hear it all the time,
|
Love at first sight.
|
When I saw that girl I knew I had to love her all my life.
|
I was just 19 when I got this thing,
|
And I swear that it still stings,
|
Everytime I think about my Adaliene.
|
|
Get back to work you lazy bums,
|
My daddy joked,
|
He's lying son.
|
Whatever it is he said he did,
|
You can best believe he's never done.
|
|
Mom yelled hey guys,
|
It's supper time.
|
Wipe off your feet and wash your hands.
|
And as we did I said Hey dad,
|
You ever seen that tattoo dance?
|
|
He got all teary-eyed and serious,
|
He shook his head and said,
|
Yeah I remember her.
|
That's Adaliene.
|
In '63
|
First time I ever saw your uncle take a drink.
|
Hear it all the time,
|
Love at first sight.
|
When I saw her in his arms I knew he'd love her all his life.
|
|
I was 24 in your Grandpa's Ford,
|
And I paid for all that ink.
|
Yeah I know all about that Adaliene.
|
|
I knew her well,
|
Hell, all he ever talked about from the moment that he fell
|
Were those wedding bells,
|
That house up on the hill.
|
And how empty and how lonely life would be,
|
Without his Adaliene.
|
|
Hear it all the time,
|
Love at first sight.
|
When I saw that girl I knew I'd have to love her all my life.
|
I was just 19 when I got this thing,
|
And I swear that it still stings,
|
Everytime I think about my Adaliene.
