Walkin' downtown in her skater shoes rockin' a crop top with an attitude I knew I knew nothing about this girl but one thing She was the prettiest thing I'd ever seen in life One day I'd like to make her my wife I've been saying the same damn thing since we met in '14
I'll never forget that drive on 95 When she was feelin' good, said "boy turn up that dial"
Saying "I wanna sing like a country star there's just something 'bout that southern draw that's got me wishing we were living where my favorite trees are down south out of town Where I can be the girl you can't live without We'll build a life that you write about In those songs you sing while you're tuggin' on strings connected to this old heart I wanna sing like a country star. "
[Verse 2] But this life I live ain't about material things It's about doin' what I love and making memories So I can paint a picture with this old six string guitar 'Cause I'll be a troubadour until the day I die There ain't no better feeling than lookin' in the eyes of the girl I love when she's standing in that morning light
[Pre-Chorus] I'll never forget that night on 95 Lonestar came on that radio she went wild
[Chorus] Saying "I wanna sing like a country star there's just something 'bout that southern draw that's got me wishing we were living where my favorite trees are down south out of town Where I can be the girl you can't live without We'll build a life that you write about In those songs you sing while you're tuggin' on strings connected to this old heart I wanna sing like a country star. "
[Bridge] It's a thousand miles away I can't wait to see your face Where you can lay beside me beneath these weeping willow trees and all the stories we will tell to our children and ourselves about these man made memories when this was just a dream
[Chorus] And you were singing like a country star There's just something 'bout that southern draw that's got me wishing we were living where your favorite trees are down south out of town Where you can be the girl I can't live without We'll build a life that I write about in those songs I sing while I'm tuggin' on strings connected to your old heart I wanna sing like a country star
