She was sitting there watching the rain that night It was the night he came to town She cried, "There's nobody for me in this whole damned world" And the rain kept coming down Little did she know, despite her tears Just as night is followed by day The one she'd call her one true love Was just a half a mile away As sure as children know how to pray Hey, hey, hey, good love is on the way He'd been hired to work on the Dixon Ranch By his cousin, it must be told They'd both dreamed of being big cowboys Since they were only six years old He'd been wounded badly in the war Fighting for this great land He had gone away a little boy But he had come home a man And the brave all know they can When it's time to make a stand It was Saturday night, she was off to work As a waitress at the Lone Star Bar She wondered if her prince was somewhere out there But the question was “how far?” He ordered a beer, nothing special A Corona with a lime She looked at him as if she'd never seen a man I guess for her it had been some time Since the Lord had turned water to wine (Bridge) Well it didn't take long, the fastest I've seen He asked that lady to dance There were fifty men turning green with envy Because they'd never have a chance To tell her how beautiful she really was “Wow,” was all that she could say Do you think they knew Their happy-ever-after Was just a kiss away? Men and women learn how to pray Like the children know how to pray And good love will come to stay
