It hit me at 8:30
When I was being a little flirty
Was sitting about 20 rows back
I heard the girl playing
The song I was just saying
Was the reason I bought it from the rack.
Her name ain’t Shelly
But she put a fire in my belly
Got her tunes on all of the time
When I’m working or out on the ranch
Can’t wait till I see her
Next time at the theater
It’s why I love the Branch
I wrote her a letter
Because she made me feel better
After playing her tunes hundreds of times
A few year later
I felt even greater
After putting together a couple of rhymes
Her name ain’t Shelly
But she put a fire in my belly
Got her tunes on all of the time
When I’m working or out on the ranch
Can’t wait till I see her
Next time at the theater
It’s why I love the Branch
I saw her at a bar
When she played the guitar
I sat there and gave her a pen
She came on over
It was my lucky clover
She said “it’s great to see you again.”
Her name ain’t Shelly
But she put a fire in my belly
Got her tunes on all of the time
When I’m working or out on the ranch
Can’t wait till I see her
Next time at the theater
It’s why I love the Branch
