There Was This Girl - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Never knew my old man's truck could even run like that

Should've known better than to take that curve so fast

Daddy pulled up, I was down in a ditch

And he asked me why I did what I did

There was this girl, drink in her hand

Shootin' me a "Let's get into trouble" grin

I ain't never seen somethin' so fine

And I was doin' anything to make her mine

I was out of my mind, she was out of this world

There was this girl

Some folks ask me why I still pick this guitar

They say livin' that life on the road won't get you very far

I say man you should've been down in Tupelo

Seen what was in the front row

There was this girl, beer in her hand

Shootin' me a "Play a little Skynyrd" grin

She's turnin' it up, she's turnin' me on

And I'd play her anything she'd sing along

I was out of my mind, she was out of this world

There was this girl

Yeah, there was this girl

Didn't know a diamond ring could cost so much (Damn)

Took six months on a farm 'fore I saved up

All my drinkin' buddies still out on the town

Wonderin' why I ever settled down

But there was this girl, holdin' my hand

Shootin' me a "Start a life together" grin

She's pullin' me in, she straightened me out

And now I know what love is all about

I'm still out of my mind, she's still out of this world

There was this girl

Yeah, there was this girl

There was this girl
