"Tie That Binds" lyrics

I first saw you through the buzz of a burnt-out cigarette
Bouncin' off the walls with the smell of forgettin' on your breath
Girl, my eyes rose and my heart dropped to the floor
The second you walked through that door

I'd be kickin' myself if I didn't walk over here
Ask to buy you a beer
Or maybe somethin' stronger?
Baby, I ain't walkin' outta here alone
So will you make sure I don't?
Maybe I can drive you home?
'Cause I've been lookin' for a woman like you for quite some time
I would be delighted to call you mine
Let's hope we find a tie that binds

Every time I see you lyin' next to me in this room
I stop to thank the good Lord for blessin' me with you
I know I've waited so long to tie the knot
But better late than not

I'd be kickin' myself if I didn't get on one knee
Give you this diamond ring
An' try all this forever thing
Baby, what you think about settlin' down
Move out to a one-horse town
An' raise a family?
'Cause I've been lookin' for a woman like you for quite some time
I'd be the happiest man in the world to call you mine
I think we found a tie that binds

I'd be kickin' myself if I didn't get on one knee
Give you this diamond ring
An' try all this forever thing
Baby, what you think about settlin' down
Move out to a one-horse town
An' raise a family?
'Cause I've been lookin' for a woman like you for quite some time
I'd be the happiest man in the world to call you mine
I think we found a tie that binds
