Katie Lyrics

Katie wasn’t lookin,
The finest thing I’d ever seen
I got the courage to ask her out
When I turned eighteen
Saturday, eight o’clock
And not a minute late
I pulled up in my beat up truck
And we headed toward the lake

She said, boy I sure do love your smile
And I hope we can stay here for a while.
And to tell the truth I always knew
I’d end up with a country boy like you.

A few years down the road
We both said I do.
Then we left that sleepy little town
On a honeymoon cruise.
Soakin’ up the sunlight and dancin’ on the beach
I could feel the love she felt
When she looked at me.

She said, boy I sure do love your smile
And I hope we can stay here for a while.
And to tell the truth I always knew
I’d end up with a country boy like you.

Got a call about 7:15
From a hospital room
I heard the nurse on the other end
She said, I know it’s hard to understand
But get here just as quick as you can
There’s been an accident

Here at her bedside
Tryin’ not to cry
The doctor says she ain’t got long
Time to say goodbye

Katie opened her soft green eyes
And she looked at me.
I moved closer by her side,
And got down on my knees
And I said, girl I sure do love your smile
And I know ya gotta go in a little while
But to tell the truth I always knew
I’d fall in love with an angel like you.
