Love came alive in a New York second      She was just a girl, running from the city   I was just a farm boy   Looking for a good time   Neither one of us was out to fall in love   She was getting gas   At Thompson's station   I was buying parts   For the old man's tractor   When she looked at me   I knew it was more than love      We talked, and she smiled   And I swear, it about drove me half wild      Love came alive in a New York second   Just the way it's meant to be, I reckon   Felt so good, it just keeps getting   Better all the time she's with me   Love came alive in a small town minute   Came along and swept us both up in it   The Texas sky ain't got no limit   Ever since her sweet love came alive      She was on her way up to Colorado   Stopped to see a friend   Down in Beaumont   It's something how life   Takes its twists and turns   She asked me how to get   To the local diner   I said, 'I'll tell you if   You let me join you.'   She said, 'Fine.'   And love began to burn.      We laughed, and she smiled   And I swear, it about drove me half wild      Love came alive in a New York second   Just the way it's meant to be, I reckon   Felt so good, it just keeps getting   Better all the time she's with me   Love came alive in a small town minute   Came along and swept us both up in it   The Texas sky ain't got no limit   Ever since her sweet love came alive      Love came alive in a New York second   Just the way it's meant to be, I reckon   Felt so good, it just keeps getting   Better all the time she's with me   Love came alive in a small town minute   Came along and swept us both up in it   The Texas sky ain't got no limit   Ever since her sweet love came alive      Ever since her sweet love came alive
