[Verse 1]
I saw you by the kettle corn line
Hair in the wind, sun caught in your eyes
You laughed at somethin' your friend had said
And my whole small world turned slow in my head
Your boots had dust from a gravel road
Your smile hit me harder than I let show
I shook your hand and forgot my name
Like I was already halfway tamed
[Pre-Chorus]
I didn't know your last name yet
But my heart was makin' plans
Like a field on fire in the dry July
One spark and I couldn't stand
[Chorus]
First time I met you
I knew, I knew
First time I met you
I wanted forever with you
Forever with you
Yeah, that was true
First time I met you
I knew, I knew
[Verse 2]
We talked by the trucks till the moon came up
'Bout town and rain and that red dirt stuff
You tucked your hair and looked at me
Like you were reading the same old dream
I walked you home past the open gate
The screen door creaked, then you said "stay"
And every word after that felt right
Like I'd been waitin' my whole damn life
[Pre-Chorus]
I didn't have a ring, no plan
Just a chest full of thunder
One look from you and I was gone
And I never wanted under
[Chorus]
First time I met you
I knew, I knew
First time I met you
I wanted forever with you
Forever with you
Yeah, that was true
First time I met you
I knew, I knew
[Bridge]
Now the years got mud on our boots
And your laugh still pulls me through
If you ask me how I knew it then
I'd say your name was already my end
[Final Chorus]
First time I met you
I knew, I knew
First time I met you
I wanted forever with you
Forever with you
Yeah, that was true
First time I met you
I knew, I knew
I wanted forever with you
Forever with you
