Alexandra Road

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I met you by the county line Your truck was dust and your laugh was wine Alexandra, you looked at me Like you already knew the man I'd be You had a chain on a paper cup Said, "Stay awhile, don't hurry up" I said, "Girl, I don't know how" You just smiled like you knew me now [Pre-Chorus] And I swear the world got small When you said my name that fall A little scared, a little sure Then I wanted you more and more [Chorus] Alexandra, hold me close You're the one I love the most Alexandra, stay right here Turn my long road into home, dear Alexandra, hear me say I won't let you slip away [Verse 2] We drove past fields of broken corn Sunset burning through the storm Your hand found mine on the seat Like it was the only thing to keep We danced slow in a gravel lot Under a porch light, all we got Was a little time and a little truth And my whole heart tied up to you [Pre-Chorus] Now every town looks plain and gray When you ain't standing in my day A little wild, a little tame Alexandra, you're the name [Chorus] Alexandra, hold me close You're the one I love the most Alexandra, stay right here Turn my long road into home, dear Alexandra, hear me say I won't let you slip away [Bridge] If the river rises high I'll be your steady in the tide If this old world starts coming down I'll still be here, still be around [Final Chorus] Alexandra, hold me close You're the one I love the most Alexandra, stay right here Turn my long road into home, dear Alexandra, hear me say I won't let you slip away Alexandra, my one prayer I found forever in your stare
