My whole world waits for me

Got the kinda sunsets to die for

Got the kinda love that makes you want more

She keeps her own fire burning

'Til those bus wheels stop turning

There's no place I'd rather be than with her

Yeah, the way she slides on over

Lays her head on my shoulder

She knows just how to make me smile

F
Yeah, we both can't hardly wait

To pull through that rusty gate

Country love songs on the FM  dial

Boulevards and avenues

Big city front page news

Got it all in my rearview

Gonna lose those Highway 40 blues

A few cows grazing in the field

Whitetail running 'round the old windmill

Sweet whispers and soft skin

A "get home now and come and get this" grin

A little A-frame with a porch swing

It ain't much, but she's my everything

Quarter mile when that blacktop ends

C
Take a turn right at the old grain bin

My heaven on Earth begins with my angel in blue jeans

There's no place I'd rather be than with her
