Cotton Plants and Georgia Stars

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two years back on a Georgia night, The door swung open, caught the light. A stranger passing, just a while, Then the whole world changed inside your smile. You yanked a cotton plant from red clay ground, And laughing there, my heart got found. [Chorus] Oh, I'd drive a thousand miles just to hold you near, Every weekend, four long hours, just to bring me here. You love the way I love you, and that's enough for me, Deanna, you're the peace I never thought I'd see. [Verse 2] We laid down on the warm asphalt, Counting stars, forgetting all our faults. You and Tucker are my steady ground, The truest home that I have found. And when the road runs dark and wide, I keep your porch light burning in my mind. [Chorus] Oh, I'd drive a thousand miles just to hold you near, Every weekend, four long hours, just to bring me here. You love the way I love you, and that's enough for me, Deanna, you're the peace I never thought I'd see. [Bridge] I know the future scares you, girl, It's a big unwritten world. But take my hand and hold on tight, We'll heal together, day and night. [Verse 3] So here's my promise, plain and true, No matter what, I'm choosing you. Through every storm and every mile, I'll cross it all just for your smile. Deanna, love, we've just begun, Me and you and little Tucker's sun. [Chorus] Oh, I'd drive a thousand miles just to hold you near, Every weekend, four long hours, just to bring me here. You love the way I love you, and that's enough for me, Deanna, you're the peace I always dreamed you'd be. [Outro] Under those Georgia stars we lay, And I'll love you more each passing day.
