Let Me Help You With That

Saw you when you walked out of that door

Of that seven light small town grocery store

Shining in the summer sun

Both arms full

Your face lights up when you see mine

Doors unlock inside of my mind

As the cans slip of the bottom of that paper sack

I laugh and say

Let me help you with that

And you say boy what are you doing

Here back in town

And I say

Checking on momma

Just hanging around

A couple days 'til I got to hit the road again

In my head I'm thinking it looks so good I can't help but stare

I'm lost in your perfume that's hanging in the air

With your blonde hair falling out from under your hat

I reach up and say let me help you with that

I'm packing that Chevy on River Ridge Road

And I'm kissing you baby, up against the silo

You're holding on tight saying don't you ever let me go

Don't ever let me go

I wipe that tear as it roles down your face

You look up, fake your best smile and say

Do you ever wish you could take the hands of time

And turn them back

I'd take your hand and say let me help you with that

I'm packing that Chevy on River Ridge Road

And I'm kissing you baby, up against the silo

You're holding on tight saying don't you ever let me go

Don't ever let me go

I say I bet I could find a couple extra days

If I had an excuse to miss that plane

One good reason to stay right where I'm at

You laugh and say let me help you with that
