Black Chicken Alley

[Verse 1]
It was the weekend we met
Rust on the fence, sun nearly set
You laughed when I missed that step
On that dusty back road trail
Boots in the gravel and mud
My heart running hot in my blood
You took my hand just because
And my whole world tilted
[Pre-Chorus]
Green-brown ocean eyes on mine
Long brunette hair falling wild
I was lost, you were kind
In that crooked little mile
[Chorus]
Black Chicken Alley, baby, that’s where it started
One shy smile and I gave you my guarded heart
That first kiss on my lips, then your neck, then again
My hand on your leg, we were more than just friends
Black Chicken Alley, I remember it all
Every breath, every touch, every soft Southern drawl
That weekend we met
I swear I’ll never forget
[Verse 2]
Radio low in your truck
Windows down, we were kicking up dust
You said, “Slow down, this is us”
So we pulled off to the side
Stars hanging low, big and bright
You leaned in close, said “this feels right”
I traced your knee in the pale moonlight
You pulled me in tighter
[Pre-Chorus]
Green-brown ocean eyes on mine
Long brunette hair in my hands
You laughed when I forgot the time
Said, “Boy, this is our chance”
[Chorus]
Black Chicken Alley, baby, that’s where it started
One shy smile and I gave you my guarded heart
That first kiss on my lips, then your neck, then again
My hand on your leg, we were more than just friends
Black Chicken Alley, I remember it all
Every breath, every touch, every soft Southern drawl
That weekend we met
I swear I’ll never forget
[Bridge]
Years roll on like a long dirt road
We got a little house and a love that grows
But when I close my eyes at night
I’m back there by your side
[Chorus]
Black Chicken Alley, baby, that’s where it started
One shy smile and I gave you my guarded heart
That first kiss on my lips, then your neck, then again
My hand on your leg, we were more than just friends
Black Chicken Alley, I remember it all
Every breath, every touch, every soft Southern drawl
That weekend we met
Yeah, that weekend we met
I swear I’ll never forget
