(James Bonamy/P. Bunch/D. Johnson)
I didn't have to climb a water tower
And paint your name in cherry bomb red
Or pick all of the neighbor's flowers
I coulda' sent a card instead, but
I had to do it big enough
To let you know I'm serious
Well I could
Have turned
Around and run away, but
I knew
I'd need
My heart someday
I didn't have to take desperate measures
To make my intentions plain
I coulda' waited for better weather
Instead of standin' in the pourin' rain
Singin' "I will always love you" and "Sweet Home Alabama"
Well I could
Have turned
Around and run away, but
I knew
I'd need
My heart someday
Baby without your lovin'
My life would mean nothin'
And my heart would just be somethin'
I left with you
Well I could
Have turned
Around and run away, but
I knew
I'd need
My heart someday
Well I could
Have turned
Around and run away, but
I knew
I'd need
My heart someday
