I was just a country boy in the big city lights
Chasin' dreams and studyin' hard late into the nights
She walked into that English class fresh outta high school
A city girl with a smile that could break any rule
She said "Hey tall guy you're blockin' my view"
I turned around saw those eyes so blue
Heart skipped a beat didn't know what to say
But I knew right then she was my someday
I carved "I Love You" in a piece of gum
Wrapped it up hoped she'd open it some
Waited and wondered if she'd ever know
How a country boy's heart could love her so
Saved up my money from my first paid job
Wanted to ask her out my heart started to throb
But she kept that gum in her pocket tight
Never opened it at least not in my sight
Maybe one day she'll find that little piece Open it up set my heart at ease But until then I'll keep on believin' That love's worth the wait even if it's deceivin'
So here's to the city girl with eyes so bright And the country boy who fell in love at first sight Someday she'll find that message in disguise And realize she's always been my prize
