Lyrics
Since I met you
By Dusty Steinle ©2002
I never thought I?d be the rowdy friend to settle down first
But there?s something about you girl that just seems to quench my thirst
It used to mean that Saturdays meant closing down the bars
I know that?s no kind of life to live, but it?s worked for me so far
Studying hard at SWT is all I used to do
Now I?ve learned all that I need to learn
?Cause all I think about is you
We may not party with kegs of beer each and every Friday night
But I?d trade that party any day of the week to have you holding me tonight
Chorus:
Since I met you you?ve ruined me for country music
No more honky-tonks and rambling for me
I got a ring in my pocket and a half a mind to use it
I guess it?s love songs and staying home for me
Bridge:
After working real hard all day long I used to spend my nights running around
Somehow this whirlwind love of ours has turned my life around
When the weather cools down and necks get big you make camouflage look cool
You won?t hesitate to take that shot at next Friday?s barbecue
These days I may not stay up late for all the things I used to do
But some things about me won?t ever change, I?m just doing them now with you
Chorus:
Since I met you you?ve ruined me for country music
No more honky-tonks and rambling for me
I got a ring in my pocket and I think it?s time to use it
Now it?s love songs and staying home for me
