Amanda Bramlett

Amanda Bramlett stole my heart eight years ago this May
Less than 10 blocks from the house I'm living in today
It was just by lucky happenstance I was even in this town
I was on my way to Georgia when my truck had broken down

I stopped into the corner store for a glass of lemonade
As soon as I saw her there, my heart gladly sailed away
Her hand, it brushed against mine, as she handed me my change
I knew at that moment, my life would never be the same

She had the kind of smile red roses were made for
And I can still remember the blue cotton dress she wore
She was everything I had waited my whole life to find
My world turned on just one look in Amanda Bramlett's eyes

So I packed my bags and moved into this Alabama town
We were meant to be, it was destiny, of this I had no doubt
But it was nowhere near the fairy tale I thought that it would be
Love at first sight turned into a distant memory

She had the kind of smile red roses were made for
And I can still remember the blue cotton dress she wore
She was everything I had waited my whole life to find
My world turned on just one look in Amanda Bramlett's eyes

The years have passed and I have come to build a new life here
It was more than a lucky happenstance that our love disappeared
I've got a wife and kids now, I'm settled in this Alabama town
I couldn't ask for anymore than the blessings that I've found
And I rarely think about the day she came into my life
But where would I be today without Amanda Bramlett's eyes

She had the kind of smile red roses were made for
And I can still remember the blue cotton dress she wore
I thought that she was everything I'd waited my whole life to find
But that's not the reason I was drawn to Amanda Bramlett's eyes

Amanda Bramlett stole my heart eight years ago this May
Less than ten blocks from the house I'm living in today
