You looked at me like I was crazy
When I said mam'm to that little old lady
You ain't heard talk like that lately
But I can see, it's got you smilin'

And you say you still remember
Our first date me cookin' you dinner
And how I didn't even try to
Kiss you at the end of the date
Cause I was raised to

Stand up when you walk in the door
Spin you around an old heart pine floor
Rock you baby on a wraparound porch
Underneath a magnolia blossom

Walk you down old live oak road
Barefoot bridge see a sunset show
Say I love you when I pull you close
And you know it's true, as the gospel
Ain't nobody gonna love you better than
This southern gentleman

I'm gonna, open up these plantation blinds
To the sun coming up in your pretty blue eyes
Tell you you're beautiful
A thousand times a day
'til your in love with the way that I

Stand up when you walk in the door
Spin you around an old heart pine floor
Rock you baby on a wraparound porch
Underneath a magnolia blossom

Walk you down old live oak road
Barefoot bridge see a sunset show
Say I love you when I pull you close
And you know it's true, as the gospel
Ain't nobody gonna love you better than
This southern gentleman

Girl I'm gonna take you
On a trip like back in time
Just put your hand in mine, and won't you

Stand up when you walk in the door
Spin you around an old heart pine floor
Rock you baby on a wraparound porch
Underneath a magnolia blossom

Walk you down old live oak road
Barefoot bridge see a sunset show
Say I love you when I pull you close
And you know it's true, as the gospel
Ain't nobody gonna love you better than
This southern gentleman
