"Ropin' A Hummingbird" lyrics

I was twelve, she was ten
Couldn't see it way back then
I was cool, she was two years too young for me
Paper notes and paper planes
Flyin' round with our names
In candy apple red marker
In a heart on the breeze like a lasso
When she'd aim and throw
I'd stop and drop and roll duck and swerve
Her tyin' me down was about like

Ropin' a hummingbird in a hurricane
'Bout as close to impossible as anything
Silly as it sounds comin' from my mouth
Lookin' back I'm seein' that
Findin' that needle in a haystack
The size of the universe is like
Ropin' a hummingbird

Hand full of years fly on by
That yellow sun dress caught my eye
Golden tan holdin' hands with our first string quarterback
I was small he was big
She was way out of my league
Ain't it crazy how a table and some time can turn so fast
There she was lookin' so in love
And I was wishin' I could be that guy with her
But for a cowboy like me that'd be like

Ropin' a hummingbird in a hurricane
'Bout as close to impossible as anything
Silly as it sounds comin' from my mouth
Lookin' back I'm seein' that
Findin' that needle in a haystack
The size of the universe is like
Ropin' a hummingbird

I swung a loop we tied the knot
Against all odds we pulled it off
Ropin' a hummingbird in a hurricane
'Bout as close to impossible as anything
Silly as it sounds comin' from my mouth
Lookin' back I'm seein' that
Findin' that needle in a haystack
The size of the universe is like
Ropin' a hummingbird
