Lyle Lovett - Her First Mistake lyrics
(Lyle Lovett) Once upon a time ago Way up in the land of sleet and snow How this fairy tale would go I could not have known I had searched around this world so mean From Livingstone to Palestine Trying to pursue my dream Of love It was then I met this girl so fine She made me think so fast I left my thought behind And I tried to pass for a sophisticated Northern man I said why yes my dear I know exactly what you mean Because there's not so much I haven't done or seen And may I say your eyes are the loveliest Shade of jade I said come on baby Come on baby Come on baby It was then I knew I had made my first mistake She did not even start to wait And as she turned around to walk away This is what she had to say She told me man I come from way down South I've got a picket fence with a picket house And I don't need no fast talking Northern man Like you around I said well come on baby Come on baby Come on baby Honey I don't know what you just heard But Alabama is my favorite word And Birmingham Is a long way from here I could see the light began to shine She turned back around her eyes met mine And suddenly the whole world became A better place Even if it was only for an instant Because it was then I knew I had made my Second mistake She told me man that was a real good try But Alabama's not where I reside I come from where the river is wide And the crawfish hide I said well come on baby Come on baby Come on baby Honey I don't know what you just heard But Louisiana is my favorite word And New Orleans |
