(James Bonamy/P. Bunch/D. Johnson)
I didn`t have to climb a water tower
And paint your name in cherry bomb red
Or pick all of the neighbor`s flowers
I coulda` sent a card instead, but
I had to do it big enough
To let you know I`m serious
Well I could
Have turned
Around and run away, but
I knew
I`d need
My heart someday
I didn`t have to take desperate measures
To make my intentions plain
I coulda` waited for better weather
Instead of standin` in the pourin` rain
Singin` I will always love you and Sweet Home Alabama
Well I could
Have turned
Around and run away, but
I knew
I`d need
My heart someday
Baby without your lovin`
My life would mean nothin`
And my heart would just be somethin`
I left with you
Well I could
Have turned
Around and run away, but
I knew
I`d need
My heart someday
Well I could
Have turned
Around and run away, but
I knew
I`d need
My heart someday
