That Changes Everything

(albüm: Letters From Home - 2004)

I said I know a shrimp-boat captain out of Galveston
I've been thinking I'd go down and work a spell
Oh you never can tell, it might suit me fine
Spend some time out on the bay
But then there's always cowboy work in Colorado
I was thinking that that just might be the thing
Make a little pocket change, I figure what the heck
Ain't nothing standing in my way
Then she smiled at me
Looked awhile at me

And that changes everything
That's a whole 'nother deal
That puts a brand new spin
On this ol' rolling wheel
That's some powerful stuff
That's a girl in love
And that's the one thing
That changes everything

Well I suppose on second thought this ol' town ain't so bad
Wouldn't hurt me to unload this load of mine
And there's a for sale sign on a little house
I saw just about a mile or so from here
But I've always been the kind for pulling up stakes
I ain't ever been like me to put down roots
But now I'm thinking, shoot, who am I kidding
I ain't going anywhere
'Cause when she smiles at me
Looks awhile at me
