LYRIC FOR SALE

By John Keith Music

Looking out the window. Waiting for the rain to stop.
Gonna meet my baby at the local coffee shop.
Don’t wanna be late so I grab my keys and run.
Going to a dance and we're going to have some fun.

Well, Jenny is waiting and boy she looks real fine.
I’ve got a ring in my pocket. Gonna ask her to be mine.
The band is playing and I’m holding my baby tight.
Then we're gonna walk home cos we mustn't be late tonight.

We get to her door. She says “please don't be mad.
But I’d really like it if you met my mum and dad”.
Well my heart is pounding but I say that's fine by me.
Cos she doesn't know I was planning to take a knee.

Her folks are cool and her momma looks just like her.
I whisper to her daddy “I need to ask you, sir.
I’d like your blessing to ask for your daughter's hand.
But if you need time then I guess I’ll understand”.

Jenny and her mom are in the kitchen fixing snacks.
But her daddy calls “hey, can you girls come on back.
This boys got a question and he wants us all to see”.
Then he gives me a nod and I get down on my knee.

Jenny's face is beaming and her momma starts to cry.
Jenny says yes and I let out one big sigh.
Then her daddy shakes my hand and her momma gives me a hug
They put on a record and Jenny rolls back the rug.

Well we dance for a while then we talk and make our plan.
My girls beside me with my ring upon her hand.
It's getting late so its time to say goodbye
And I walk on home, feeling like a lucky guy.

When I get to work at big Rick's auto store
Gonna check my hours then I'll ask him for some more
‘cos it won't be long before I carry her through that door.
