Trace Adkins - Then Came the Night Lyrics
Mississippi sunsetShe was standing like a candleThat hadn't been burned yetThe wind was blowin'Clouds like ashesHad my hand in my pocketReaching for my matchesIcan see thoseCotton sheets dancin'On her mama's clothesline in my headFrom my lips a Lucky Strike was danglin'The day was dyin' in a sea of redThen came the nightWarm and darkDraggin' its chainsAcross our heartsThe moon was fullThe grass was wetMakin' us scream makin' us sweatHoldin' on tightIt was wrong it was rightThen came the nightThere was a timeWhen love was a flowerNow it's a vineClimbin' up the towerAnd the river just rollsPast the gardenWhere love won't growAnd the ground is hardenedI can see the tattered white flag flyin'I can hear the ringin' mission bellTelling of the innocence that's dyin'A sound that i remember oh so wellThen came the nightWarm and darkDraggin' its chainsAcross our heartsThe moon was fullThe grass was wetMakin' us scream makin' us sweatMakin' us cling makin' us clawMakin' us rise makin' us fallBreath on breath, skin on skinI can't go back, there againHoldin' on tightIt was wrong it was rightThen came the night( I remember that sumerI was workin' for her daddyI was still a boyBut i knew i was readyWhen she reached out and took my handShe became a womanANd i became a manI wonder if she still thinks about meThe way i still think about herYou dont forget something like thatThere's only one first time)
