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
