“Yellow Wasn’t My Color”
Verse 1
We met on Facebook late one night
Just a message, nothing planned
Didn’t know my whole damn world
Was sittin’ there in your hands
First time that I saw your smile
Was under neon barroom lights
At a place called Marcos
Where we threw darts all night
Pre-Chorus
You weren’t the kind I used to chase
But thank God I changed my ways
Chorus
’Cause yellow wasn’t my color
Till you walked into my life
Now it’s sunsets on your shoulders
And forever in your eyes
You’re not the girl I used to want
You’re the one I needed most
And every wrong road that I drove
Led me straight to you that close
Verse 2
You sing along to country songs
Like they were written just for you
Windows down, small-town sound
Barefoot in the afternoon
Size seven and a half in heels
Seven in kids when you’re feeling small
But you stand ten feet tall to me
When you’re leaning on that wall
Pre-Chorus
You don’t even see yourself
The way I always do
Chorus
’Cause yellow wasn’t my color
Till you painted up my sky
Now it’s laughter in the kitchen
And tears I don’t have to hide
You’re not the girl I used to want
You’re the prayer I never prayed
And loving you was the best damn choice
This broken heart ever made
Bridge
And Aubrie with her pom-poms high
Eighteen and chasing dreams
The way you love that little girl
Shows me what love really means
You don’t just shine — you fight
You don’t just talk — you stay
And watching you be her mama
Makes me fall more every day
Final Chorus (Soft & Sad-Pretty)
Yellow’s more than just your favorite shade
It’s the light you leave on me
It’s hope in the hard days
It’s everything I want to be
You’re not the girl I thought I’d choose
But you’re the one I’d choose again
If I had one life to live
I’d start it where we began
Outro
Back at Marcos, darts in hand
Neon buzzing soft and slow
Who knew one night and a Facebook line
Would feel this much like home.
