Written by Brent Baxter, Lisa Shaffer & Bill Whyte Recorded by Joe Nichols [Intro] D A G x 2
         D                    A
Past the cotton fields in the old spring mill

          D/F#                   G
We laid a blanket down where the world was still

      D                     A                  G
Where nothin' but a quarter moon lights up the dark

     D               A                   D/F#
Just me and her, let nature work when it feels so right

           G
There's no need for words

D                   A                G
All cuddled up just listenin' to our hearts    
[Chorus]
        D         D/F#       G
And the crickets, itty bitty crickets

                A                                 D      A
There ain't an  other sound for miles around just listen

     D      D/F# G
It's quiet, real quiet

         A                                                    D
When the crickets start chirpin', Lord, don't they say it all

       D                     A
It was going great, just our third date

        D/F#                        G
We were taken' it slow, but getting carried away

  D                       A              G
I never thought you could fall so far so soon

   D                           A
It coulda been her eyes or the boon's farm wine

    D/F#                 G
But either way my tongue came untied

    D                A           G
And we both heard me say, I love you    
[Chorus]
D         D/F#        G
Crickets, nothin' but crickets

          A                                 D      A
Ain't an  other sound for miles around just listen

     D      D/F# G
It's quiet, real quiet

         A                                                   D
When the crickets start chirpin' Lord, don't they say it all
[Bridge]
   A
It might been seconds, but it felt like an hour

         G                         D
Then she gave me a kiss, said it's all worked out

    A
Got momma's white dress, my grand momma's ring

  G                           A
I know a little church, baby, what do you think?    
She said, what do you think [Solo] D G A D A [Chorus]
     D      D/F# G
It's quiet, real quiet

         A                                                    D A
When the crickets start chirpin', Lord, don't they say it all

    D         D/F#       G
Oh, crickets, itty bitty crickets

         A                                                    D
When the crickets start chirpin', Lord, don't they say it all
