Her First Mistake |
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 livingstone 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 thought behind |
And I tried to pass for a sophisticated |
Northern man |
I said why yes my dear I know exactly what you mean |
Because theres not so much I havent 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 |
Ive got a picket fence with a picket house |
And I dont need no fast talking northern man |
Like you around |
I said well come on baby |
Come on baby |
Come on baby |
Honey I dont know what you just heard |
But alabama is my favorite word |
And birmingham |
Is a long way from here |
I could see the 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 alabamas 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 dont know what you just heard |
But louisiana is my favorite word |
And new orleans |
Is a long way from here |
She just looked at me and shook her head |
Your lines are pretty sad she said |
You are a lonely, weak, pathetic man |
If this is doing the best you can |
It was then I knew I had made my third mistake |
Yes three strikes right across the plate |
And as I hollered honey please wait |
She was gone |
I said well come on baby |
Come on baby |
Come on baby |
Honey I dont know what you just heard |
Bartender set em up are my favorite words |
Because the love I need |
Is a long way from here |
Oh the love I need |
Is a long way from here |
Yes well there I sat so all alone |
Like a king who sits upon his throne |
And whose kingdom may have just gone home |
With another kingdom |
So as you can imagine much to my surprise |
When the door was flung back open wide |
It was a miracle |
She walked inside |
And pulled her chair up next to me And thats when she knew |
She had made her |
First mistake |
Honey I dont know what you just heard |
But come on baby |
Are my favorite words |
And where were going |
Is a long way from here |
And where were going |
Is a long way from here |
So like I said before |
I could not have known |
How this fairy tale would finally go Still the only certain thing for sure |
Is what I do not know |
So like the years and all the seasons pass |
And like the sand runs through the hour glass |
I just keep on running faster |
Chasing the happily |
I am ever after |
I just keep on running faster |
Chasing the happily |
I am ever after |
