" Hooked From The Start"

“Hooked from the Start”

(Lyrics By Gerald Logan)

(Verse 1)

I saw her sitting at a corner table through the bar full of smoke

I walked up and asked her for a dance, she said yes and I was hooked

We got lost in each other’s eyes, everyone disappeared

She couldn’t take her eyes off of me when I went and got us beers

(Chorus)

And that jukebox kept on playing love songs soft and slow

Two strangers holding tighter, not wanting to let go

By the time the night was over, I knew she stole my heart

That smoky bar became the place where our forever would start

(Verse 2)

We drove out to the river, moonlight shining on her face

Talking ’bout our broken pasts and how we both lost faith

She laid her hand upon my arm, said “Boy, this feels so right”

I kissed her lips beneath the stars and held her through the night

(Chorus)

And that jukebox kept on playing love songs soft and slow

Two strangers holding tighter, not wanting to let go

By the time the night was over, I knew she stole my heart

That smoky bar became the place where our forever would start

(Bridge)

Some folks search a lifetime, never find a love that’s true

But I found mine on a barroom floor when I first danced with you

(Chorus)

And that jukebox kept on playing love songs soft and slow

Two strangers holding tighter, not wanting to let go

By the time the night was over, I knew she stole my heart

That smoky bar became the place where our forever would start

(Outro)

Now every time I see that neon light shine through the dark

I thank the Lord for that smoky bar…

Where she walked off with my heart.
