Blue Railroad Train

Blue Railroad Train (feat. Billy Strings)

15 Shady Grove

She was confused when he pulled up for their first date
With a john boat sticking out his tailgate
But she loved their sunset cruise
Catchin' bass with him in full view

Just when she thought it couldn't get any better
Their lines got crossed and they reeled themselves together

Getting TANGLED UP
Was the perfect excuse
To get real close for a kiss or two
They didn't rush to try and undo
Those feelings of true love
When they got TANGLED UP

Every Friday night since that first excursion
They fish 'til dark laughin' and conversin' 
And last week when she opened the bait
There was a heart-shaped diamond in a velvet case

Just when she thought it couldn't get any better
Their lines got crossed and they reeled themselves together
