You were sitting on the front porch
With a wine glass in your hand,
North side of Waxahatchee
Where I tried to make a stand.
I sit down beside you,
You smiled and I said “hi!”
I knew I had to have you
And I knew that I'd die trying.
And you looked just like an angel,
Like I never seen before.
I was all the way from Georgia
Where I gone to fought the war.
I knew that I had fell in love
When I drove away that night.
I wanted to say thank you
For giving me this life.
I'll always hear about you
From that night the time drag on,
And when I was around you,
Play cool and not let on.
And I was crazy about you,
But your age was 17,
I knew how much I loved you,
I just hoped that you loved me.
And you looked just like an angel,
Like I never seen before.
I was all the way from Georgia
Where I gone to fought the war.
I knew that I had fell in love
When I drove away that night.
I wanted to say thank you
For giving me this life.
And six years ‘till today,
Music play, we sang along,
North side of StevenVille,
Where I used to rock my songs.
Now three years we've been married,
Still in love and singing songs,
From the south side of Austin
That's where we make our home.
And you looked just like an angel,
Like I never seen before.
I was all the way from Georgia
Where I gone to fought the war.
I knew that I had fell in love
When I drove away that night.
I wanted to say thank you
For giving me this life.
And you still look like an angel,
Like I never seen before
I was just a boy from April
Who came back from a fight in war.
I knew that I had fell in love
When I drove away that night.
I wanted to say thank you
For giving me this life.
I wanted to say thank you
For giving me this life.
