Tongue - Tied

[booker]

This is only my second country song....be gentle!! Tongue-Tied© 2004, Scott BookerSpilled my drink, all over my brand new LevisOn the first day I met you down at the “Twix & Tween”<br>I was sitting with my friends in the corner booth by the windowI pinched myself to prove that you weren’t a dreamAnd as you walked by I opened my mouthTo say something cool, but nothin came outI felt like a fool and I thought that I would dieI just got tongue-tied I didn’t know what to sayI felt like a jerk cause my brain wouldn’t workWhen we met face to faceI just wanted to tell you something to make you starry-eyedOnly God knows why, I got so tongue-tiedIt was our first big date in an old chevy truck by the riverWe sat on the tailgate and waited for the moon to rise When a skunk came along, we decided to run for coverThat’s when we found that we locked the keys insideWe jumped in the back, our hearts beatin fastWe huddled real close and shared a good laughThe kissin started and much to my surpriseWe got tongue-tiedI remember to this dayHow we were in heaven, when our motors got revinLike the Talladega motorwayFireworks exploding darlin, Just like the 4th of JulyI had the time of my life, when we got tongue-tiedIt’s been a few years and a couple kids laterAnd our love has multipliedI thought I’d write this song for youAbout all I feel insideBut I’m so tongue-tiedI don’t know what to sayI can’t express the happinessYou give me everydayI wish I could say how much I love youBut the tears get in my eyesEvery time I try…..I get so tongue-tied
