Montgomery Gentry - She Loved Me Lyrics
I met her down in Tampa BaySpring break '88She came in to hear my band playAnd man we were on that nightTwin guitars and 20-minute jams"Tush", "Cocaine", and "Sweet Home Alabam"I knew I had her in the palm of my handWhen I stepped in the spotlightHot-n-heavy in that little alleyOn a fifteen minute breakWe shared a cigarette, long kissThen she stood there by the stageAll night by the stageWhat can I say?She loved meBut after five long years of trying to be a starI sold my acts and I quit them barsGot a real job fixing trucks and carsHad a couple new mouths to feedAnd eventually that monthly wageAnd the finer points of the suburban ageAll became bars on a cageAnd man it was killing meI started cussin' and getting mad at nothin'And blaming her for ruining my lifeStarted sinking, cheating, and a-drinkingBut she stood there by my sideRight there by my sideWith tears in her eyesAnd she loved meShe loved meHeaven knows the reasons whyI'll never know the reasons whyShe loved meShe finally left three years agoMarried a man out in New MexicoCalls to say the boys are really growingGod, I miss them kidsAs for me I'm twelve steps down the lineI found a church that I like just fineEven got a gig playing these songs of mineThey all just reminisceHot-n-heavy in that little alleyOn a fifteen minute breakWe shared a cigarette, long kissThen she stood there by the stageAll night by the stageMan, those were the daysWhen she loved meYeah she loved meHeaven knows the reasons whyI'll never know the reasons whyShe loved meYeah she loved meHeaven knows the reasons whyI'll never know the reasons whyShe loved me
