Creek Will Rise

(专辑： Smoky Mountains - 2024)

Well, we were sitting on the truck bed
When it started raining, she said, "I don't mind"
Got her dancing in a white sundress
Couldn't even find one dry thread, my oh my

I, I didn't know what I was getting into
I, I wish the four-wheel drive was just two

'Cause a girl like her on a night like this
Make a man wanna stay right where he is
There's trouble in the way her green eyes are glowing
I'm holding on tight, praying and hoping
This truck battery dies
Or the road's too muddy to drive
Wanna stay right here all night
If the good Lord's willing, that creek will rise

Next thing I know
I had my blue jeans hanging on a tree limb
She was smiling at me, pulling me in
Out where the creek bend bends in the yellow moon light
Making fishing in the dark come to life

Yeah, a girl like her on a night like this
Make a man wanna stay right where he is
There's trouble in the way her green eyes are glowing
I'm holding on tight, praying and hoping
This truck battery dies
Or the road's too muddy to drive
Wanna stay right here all night
If the good Lord's willing, that creek will rise

Well, it was four in the morning when the storm quit storming
I was falling faster than Earnhardt and Gordon
Like a dirt road Daytona in my heart
And we ain't even got to the best part
We didn't have a towel, didn't have dry clothes
She was smiling and saying, "Hold me, I'm cold"
We made a blanket out of that sundress
And the radio won't even let me tell you the rest

'Cause a girl like her on a night like this
Make a man wanna stay right where he is
There's trouble in the way her green eyes are glowing
I'm holding on tight, praying and hoping
This truck battery dies
Or the road's too muddy to drive
Wanna stay right here all night
If the good Lord's willing, that creek will rise
Well, that creek will rise
