Southern Man

A few months back, I met you. Strong, silly, lean Southern man. Separated by years, but only a few Nervous I was and I wanted to, but never ran. You and I weren't meant for much, I was just a hit it and quit it. But you changed your mind when our lips first touched. You were just the fire that I needed to be lit Soon after, I had begun to fall. Yet you never answered when I called. Then you found your way into her arms again, leavin' me behind. You told me that it soon will end, but I couldn't get you off my mind. So you stopped me and let me down for her, the little girl I wish to be. Now I'm stuck to ____ around, But I only want you, you with me.
