Just Thinking, Babe

Intro - Guitar

Verse 1

I walk outside in the early morning

Settle down on that old porch swing

Look up at the sky as the day starts dawning

And find myself remembering everything

The first time I saw you, that crooked little grin

The way you looked at me, the way you pulled me in

And that first kiss, lord, I still feel the flame

My heart would race every time I hear your name

Verse 2

I remember walking through that front door

The first place that we called our own

Didn't take long till we weren't thinking

About anything but being alone

Then there was that day down by the water

At the lake, you got down on one knee

We laughed so hard, but I said yes

And you promised forever to me

Chorus

And its funny how life takes you places

Sometimes love don't go as planned

Your mama thought you needed California

So, she sends you back to your promised land

But California couldn't keep you

And Texas brought you back to me

Guess the heart wants what the heart wants

And ours was always meant to be

Verse 3

That first yes didn't last forever

There were roads we had to travel alone

But when you came back home to Texas

It didn't take long till we found our way home

Some things in life you can't explain

Some hearts just beat the same

No matter how far the miles may run

True love knows where it belongs

Bridge

Now, the morning's gone,

I'm sitting at the table

Coffee getting cold, got a cigarette or two

Half a pack sitting there beside me

And a thousand memories of me and you

Then you walk into the kitchen smiling

Ask me, "Baby, what are you doing there?"

I look at you and smile a little

Saying, "Oh, nothing... just thinking, babe"

Final Chorus

Just thinking 'bout that first hello

That first kiss so long ago

That little lake, that wedding dream

And all the roads in between

How we lost our way but found each other

How you came back home again

If I had it all to do over

I'd still say yes, back then

Outro - Soft - Spoken

You ask me what I'm thinking

I just smile and take your hand

Just thinking how lucky I am, babe

That you're still my woman

Yeah... just thinking, babe.
