lyrics

ONLY ONE FOR ME

I meet you in July
I was playing in a bar
Somewhere in Carolina
Maybe Asheville, no it was Charlotte

There were only five people in that
Bar watching me
The soundman, the opening band
The bartender and you alone there in your seat
But you were the only one for me

Chorus:
The only one for me
The one true love I’ve always dreamed
And she feels the same it’s clear to see
The only one for me

You got that restraining order
On your old boyfriend
So we took off and your Mama promised
Not to tell him where we went

By October we were looking over
Houses in the classified ads
By Turkey day, I knew there was no way
You wouldn’t drive me mad
But you were the only one for me

Chorus

Autumn’s turning leaves
In the South are something to see
In December moved you into your own place
But broke up before we decorated a tree

Then we got back together
Later on New Year’s Eve
You bought a one way ticket to the Caribbean
And that’s the last that I think I’ve seen
Of the one true love for me

Chorus
