That hot September day
 Not a wisp of wind in the parking lot
 But honey I was blown away

 And later on that fall at the Dixie Mall
 When I didn't know what to say
 I seen hide nor hair of no dynamite
 But honey I was blown away

 Big sister said "You'd better watch out"
 I slammed my door and said
 "You don't know what you're talkin' about"

 Mama said I sang when the telephone rang
 And she called out "Honey, it's Ray"
 Like a piece of dust on a four lane road
 Honey I was blown away

 I'm talking 'bout smithereens
 Just you in a pair of jeans
 Now I know what crazy means

 Chorus

 Then one Tuesday night Daddy said
 "Some guy's on the porch with a big bouquet"
 You stood there with your slicked-back hair
 And honey, I was blown away

 And when we slipped out back
 Across the railroad track
 And you softly touched my face
 Well I never did feel a train go by
 But honey, I was blown away

 No, I never did feel a train go by
 But honey, I was blown away
