Thank God Dave Never Showed

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I got all dolled up for a Friday night Standing outside that pool hall light My blind date Dave was a no-show fool But fate was playing it real cool I heard his buddies calling out a name And something told me, stay in the game [Chorus] Who knew a stood-up girl in her best dress Would find a love that nothing could contest A country boy with a little edge Blue eyes that pulled me to the ledge Twenty-five years and I'm still falling in Thank God that Dave never walked in [Verse 2] He said "What ya know, I'm Dave" with a grin I said "Boy, I know you're Shane, now let me in" We laughed and he said "Well you're already gussied up" So I walked in and Lord that was enough Those tantalizing eyes, that confident smile Country boy swagger with a little bit of wild [Chorus] Who knew a stood-up girl in her best dress Would find a love that nothing could contest A country boy with a little edge Blue eyes that pulled me to the ledge Twenty-five years and I'm still falling in Thank God that Dave never walked in [Bridge] He was a player with the world at his feet But he chose a ready-made family, made us complete They say he's tough, a little scary at the door But I cracked him open and found so much more [Verse 3] He calls me beautiful with raccoon eyes Hair all a mess and he still can't look away Shane, my king, my teddy bear in disguise Rough around the edges in the sweetest way He backs my every dream, he holds our ground The kind of man that everybody wants around We put the Notebook to shame, this love we've found I knew it from that night — Shane, you're the one I crowned [Chorus] Who knew a stood-up girl in her best dress Would find a love that nothing could contest A country boy with a little edge Blue eyes that pull me to the ledge Twenty-five years and I'm still falling in Thank God that Dave never walked in [Outro] So here's to Shane, my best friend, my ride or die That pool hall night was written in the sky I'd wait outside a thousand times again Just to fall for you all over, baby, amen
