WE RHYME
Her name was Madelyn Connors,
And I am the man that she picked
She watched her daddy’s money built their house on the hill
And watched me and my daddy laying every brick
Her dad couldn’t see us together
And the truth is neither did mine
They couldn’t know from the very first time that we kissed
We knew in our hearts we rhyme
We’re not poetry in motion like the ocean’s blue waves
We’re just flashing flood emotion born in red Georgia clay
Her love is a lyric a song with no lines
We know in our hearts we rhyme
The nurse held her up to the window and
I traced her face through the glass
She’s got my love for sleeping And Madelyn’s nose
And I’m already thinking she’ll grow up too fast
I think of the day that’s a coming
When a boy wants this baby of mine
I’m not sure that I’ll like it
But I’ll have to let go,
When she says to me Daddy we rhyme
We’re not poetry in motion like the ocean’s blue waves
We’re just flashing flood emotion born in red Georgia clay
Our love is a lyric a song with no lines
We know in our hearts we rhyme
We know in our hearts we rhyme
