Keith Anderson - Adaliene lyrics

rate me

<BR>

The first naked lady I ever saw,<br>

Was that tattoo on my uncle's arm.<br>

On daddy's farm that summer he drove up,<br>

And helped us build that barn.<br>

He rolled up his sleeves,<br>

His arms were lean.<br>

He flexed and made her dance for me.<br>

I turned red and we both laughed.<br>

And hoped my daddy didn't see.<br>

<br>

He got all teary-eyed and serious,<br>

When I asked him who she was.<br>

That's Adaliene,<br>

In '63.<br>

I wish you could have met her,<br>

She was everything to me.<br>

Hear it all the time,<br>

Love at first sight.<br>

When I saw that girl I knew I had to love her all my life.<br>

I was just 19 when I got this thing,<br>

And I swear that it still stings,<br>

Everytime I think about my Adaliene.<br>

<br>

Get back to work you lazy bums,<br>

My daddy joked,<br>

He's lying son.<br>

Whatever it is he said he did,<br>

You can best believe he's never done.<br>

<br>

Mom yelled hey guys,<br>

It's supper time.<br>

Wipe off your feet and wash your hands.<br>

And as we did I said Hey dad,<br>

You ever seen that tattoo dance?<br>

<br>

He got all teary-eyed and serious,<br>

He shook his head and said,<br>

Yeah I remember her.<br>

That's Adaliene.<br>

In '63<br>

First time I ever saw your uncle take a drink.<br>

Hear it all the time,<br>

Love at first sight.<br>

When I saw her in his arms I knew he'd love her all his life.<br>

<br>

I was 24 in your Grandpa's Ford,<br>

And I paid for all that ink.<br>

Yeah I know all about that Adaliene.<br>

<br>

I knew her well,<br>

Hell, all he ever talked about from the moment that he fell<br>

Were those wedding bells,<br>

That house up on the hill.<br>

And how empty and how lonely life would be,<br>

Without his Adaliene.<br>

<br>

Hear it all the time,<br>

Love at first sight.<br>

When I saw that girl I knew I'd have to love her all my life.<br>

I was just 19 when I got this thing,<br>

And I swear that it still stings,<br>

Everytime I think about my Adaliene.<br>
