| Before my second year of college, you were barely seventeen
|
| I was haulin' hay for your Daddy, an' you brought me a glass of tea
|
| To a farm boy from Oklahoma, you were small town Texas prize
|
| An' every young man’s dream in cut-off jeans, with that Homecoming Queen smile
|
| You were makin' fun of my farmer’s tan an' I was lettin' you
|
| An' fightin' bull in the July heat, tryin' to keep my cool
|
| An' the prairie wind sang while the dust devils danced
|
| It just got hotter as the summer passed
|
| An' that first kiss stole our breath away
|
| An' the breeze died down as our hearts surrendered
|
| The moonlight shattered as it crashed on the river
|
| We both knew we’d never be the same:
|
| 'Cause love changes everything
|
| I think your Daddy wondered but I know your Momma knew
|
| 'Cause she pulled me aside one Friday night and said take good care of you
|
| We’d steal away after supper to our favorite place in the sand
|
| By the red water’s edge where we’d hold hands while the sun melted into the land
|
| We lost more than sleep on one hot August night
|
| By mornin' we were seein' some things for the very first time
|
| An' the prairie wind sang while the dust devils danced
|
| Just got hotter as the summer passed
|
| An' that first touch stole our breath away
|
| An' the breeze died down as our hearts surrendered
|
| The moonlight shattered as it crashed on the river
|
| We both knew we’d never be the same:
|
| 'Cause love changes everything
|
| I never found my way back to college
|
| An' we found other loves since then
|
| But that first one will live forever
|
| 'Cause I’ll always remember when:
|
| Those prairie wind sang while the dust devils danced
|
| Just got hotter as the summer passed
|
| An' that first kiss stole our breath away, ohhhh
|
| An' the breeze died down as our hearts surrendered
|
| The moonlight shattered as it crashed on the river
|
| We both knew we’d never be the same:
|
| 'Cause love changes everything
|
| Whoa love changes everything, yeah |
