"She Wasn't Like That" lyrics

Love them summer girls, we spent our days at the beach
Umbrella drinks, strawberry or peach
Always looking for something over my shoulder out of reach
But she wasn't like that

I love the winter girls, we'd ski down snowy slopes
Nights with warm fires, good red wine just to cope
They'd laugh and fill their glass when I begged them to elope
But she wasn't like that

She was hallelujah, hands in the air
One more time on a roller-coaster ride
She loves Alabama, and I mean the band
Not the crimson tide

People say a lot of things and take 'em back
But she wasn't like that

And all the girls of spring who dreamed of long white wedding dresses
Champagne receptions with a couple hundred guests and
Mr. Perfect to clean up all their messes
Oh, she wasn't like that

She was like an angel
Raining heaven's tears
The day my daddy's daddy died
And when it was too painful
She brought a couple beers
Oh, and we laughed until we cried

Me. I'd change a million things, if I could go back
But her. She wasn't like that

Most girls, in time, they learn how to run
Fly too high, get burned up by the sun
Don't see the magic of two becoming one
But she wasn't, she wasn't like that

No, she still loves me
And I still love her just like that
