lyrics

LOVE OF MY LIFE
Blanca and James Sandlin / Anthony Smith

She was Mexican Catholic, I was redneck Southern Baptist
Not a chance in hell this would ever work out
I spoke taco bell Spanish, she spoke the sweetest broken English
But somehow we knew what we were talking about
24 years later, sitting here looking back
Ain’t it funny how opposites attract

We met in a bar, fell asleep in the movies
Took her home but she wouldn’t let me kiss her goodnight
I said, can I call you? she said let me think about it
It was crazy but it felt so right
And after that third date, second dance
I fell so hard deep in those pretty brown eyes
She said I do and I knew I’d found
The love of my life

I was a wild wild soldier boy, she was chasing her dreams
Even a fool could tell I wasn’t one of them
She gave up her normal life, to become my army wife
And I been making crazy memories with her ever since

We met in a bar, fell asleep in the movies
Took her home but she wouldn’t let me kiss her goodnight
I said can I call you, she said let me think about it
It was crazy but it felt so right
And after that third date, second dance
I fell so hard deep in those pretty brown eyes
She said I do and I knew I’d found
The love of my life

From breaking in broncos to getting stuck in Chevy trucks
Sitting on tailgates moonshine in solo cups
Something so crazy worked out so amazing
Thank God we never gave up

We met in a bar, fell asleep in the movies
Took her home but she wouldn’t let me kiss her goodnight
I said can I call you, she said let me think about it
It was crazy but it felt so right
And after that third date, second dance
I fell so hard deep in those pretty brown eyes
She said I do and I knew I’d found
The love of my life
