Lyle Lovett - Her First Mistake слова песни
Once upon a time agoWay up in the land of sleet and snowHow this fairy tale would goI could not have knownI had searched around this world so meanFrom livingstone to palestineTrying to pursue my dreamOf loveIt was then I met this girl so fineShe made me think so fast I left my thought behindAnd I tried to pass for a sophisticatedNorthern manI said why yes my dear I know exactly what you meanBecause theres not so much I havent done or seenAnd may I say your eyes are the loveliestShade of jadeI said come on babyCome on babyCome on babyIt was then I knew I had made my first mistakeShe did not even start to waitAnd as she turned around to walk awayThis is what she had to sayShe told me man I come from way down southIve got a picket fence with a picket houseAnd I dont need no fast talking northern manLike you aroundI said well come on babyCome on babyCome on babyHoney I dont know what you just heardBut alabama is my favorite wordAnd birminghamIs a long way from hereI could see the light began to shineShe turned back around her eyes met mineAnd suddenly the whole world becameA better placeEven if it was only for an instantBecause it was then I knew I had made mySecond mistakeShe told me man that was a real good tryBut alabamas not where I resideI come from where the river is wideAnd the crawfish hideI said well come on babyCome on babyCome on babyHoney I dont know what you just heardBut louisiana is my favorite wordAnd new orleansIs a long way from hereShe just looked at me and shook her headYour lines are pretty sad she saidYou are a lonely, weak, pathetic manIf this is doing the best you canIt was then I knew I had made my third mistakeYes three strikes right across the plateAnd as I hollered honey please waitShe was goneI said well come on babyCome on babyCome on babyHoney I dont know what you just heardBartender set em up are my favorite wordsBecause the love I needIs a long way from hereOh the love I needIs a long way from hereYes well there I sat so all aloneLike a king who sits upon his throneAnd whose kingdom may have just gone homeWith another kingdomSo as you can imagine much to my surpriseWhen the door was flung back open wideIt was a miracleShe walked insideAnd pulled her chair up next to meAnd thats when she knewShe had made herFirst mistakeHoney I dont know what you just heardBut come on babyAre my favorite wordsAnd where were goingIs a long way from hereAnd where were goingIs a long way from hereSo like I said beforeI could not have knownHow this fairy tale would finally goStill the only certain thing for sureIs what I do not knowSo like the years and all the seasons passAnd like the sand runs through the hour glassI just keep on running fasterChasing the happilyI am ever afterI just keep on running fasterChasing the happilyI am ever after
