I was ramblin’ rollin’ on and she was free
First time in years
Gamblin’ on the songs that I could sing
I thought she might want to hear
And I told her distance was the one thing that I had
I kept with me all the time
She said slide closer, Baby, you don’t sing so bad
I bet I can change your mind
Stars fell on the place
She was born and raised
I’ve never been the kind for seeing stars
But, I think I could get used to
This girl from Tuscaloosa
She’s working on her way into my heart
A long string of broken hearts can take a toll
And it stole a lot of faith
For a man like me it’s kind of hard to grab ahold
And not just let it roll away
But among the coffee and the covers and morning rain
I let that old guard down
And I asked her if she might like to stay
And make a home here in this town
An empty house and cup of coffee
Boxes everywhere
She’s waiting on that truck to pack it up
And move her whole life over there
And that over there’s a good decision
Is the thing we’re betting on
‘Cause nobody wins at loving
If some dice are never thrown
Stars fell on the place
She was born and raised
And I finally felt some stars fall over me
Now, I’m never gonna lose
The girl from Tuscaloosa
‘Cause she’s on her way up here to Tennessee
Now, I’m never gonna lose
The girl from Tuscaloosa
‘Cause she’s on her way up here to Tennessee
