Autumn Girl

Monday night and we're coming on strong
And I'm travelling home with the radio on
I'm listening to southeastern county songs
It reminds me of home 'cause that's where she's from
I can't wait to tell her my darkest secrets
I'll listen to hers, I'll promise to keep it
My heart's out my chest, I know she'll be my weakness
But I'll let her in 'cause I know that I need this

Autumn girl, she lights up the room
With her hand wrapped in mine on a lazy sunny afternoon
I'll admit I was a mess before I met her
Then I let her take my heart
Now she's picking out my sweaters
I guess I never thought life could ever be much better
Now I can't help but think I should say those eight letters
It's butterflies and our kids in her eyes
And I love her
Thank God the girl is mine

Oh the girl is mine

And then we
Watch a show on a Wednesday evening
We're racing through town as the dusk is creeping in
I get scared that she might be leaving
But I'll follow her 'till the day she's walking
Down the aisle in a bright white dress
Only God knows she's seen both my worst and my best
I can't promise life will be perfect forever
But I'm perfectly happy if we're together

My autumn girl, she lights up the room
With her hand wrapped in mine on a lazy sunny afternoon
I'll admit I was a mess before I met her
Then I let her take my heart
Now she's picking out my sweaters
I guess I never thought life could ever be much better
Now I can't help but think I should say those eight letters
It's butterflies, and our kids in her eyes
And I love her
Thank God the girl is mine

And am I gonna mess this thing up?
'Cause I know I'm a walking disaster
I can never find the right emotions I just hear her laughter
I have never felt so insecure and yet so certain
It was the right place, at the right time
And I love my

Autumn girl, she lights up the room
Her hand's wrapped in mine, it's a lazy sunny afternoon
I'll admit I was a mess before I met her
Then I let her take my heart
Now she's picking out my sweaters
I guess I never thought life could ever be much better
Now I whisper to her in the night those eight letters
It's butterflies and our kids in her eyes
And I love her

Thank God the girl is mine

The girl is mine
