In a New York Second

She was on her way up to Colorado

Stopped to see a friend down in Bormann

Ever since her sweet love came alive
Just the way it's meant to be, I reckon
Just the way it's meant to be, I reckon
Came along and swept us both up in it
She was getting gas at Thompson's station
I was buying parts for the old man's tractor

Love came alive in a New York second
Ever since her sweet love came alive
Love came alive in a small town minute
All the time she's with me
Felt so good, it just keeps getting better
Ever since her sweet love came alive
I was just a farm boy lookin' for a good time

And I swear, it about drove me half wild

And we talked and she smiled

Love came alive in a small town minute
Love came alive in a New York second
She was just a girl runnin' from the city
Felt so good, it just keeps getting better
Neither one of us was out to fall in love
When she looked at me, I knew it was more than love
All the time she's with me
The Texas sky ain't got no limit
Came along and swept us both up in it
I said "I'll tell you if you let me join ya"

All the time she's with me
Love came alive in a small town minute
Sweet love came alive
And I swear, it about drove me half wild
The Texas sky, it ain't got no limit
The Texas sky ain't got no limit

Sweet love

Sweet love came alive
She said "Fine" and love began to burn

Felt so good, it just keeps getting better

Love came alive in a New York second
We laughed and she smiled
Just the way it's meant to be, I reckon
Came along and swept us both up in it
Just somehow how life takes its twists and turns
Ever since her sweet love came alive
She asked me how to get to the local diner
