Anywhere Near That Far © 2009 Kevin Pearson/Shayne Vaughan V1 We were sittin' on the hood of my old car She was leanin' back, countin' all the stars A pair of cut off jeans that barely fit Revealed a butterfly tattoo just above her hip Her little southern drawl tore me apart She said "Hey did you see that shootin' star?" But I wasn't lookin' anywhere near that far v2 When I returned to college in the fall Hung up her pictures till I ran out of wall She'd come down for a few long weekends And when she'd leave I'd miss her all over again One cold November night I packed my car Between the snowflakes you could see the stars But I wasn't lookin' anywhere near that far V3 Drivin' home wonderin' was I crazy I changed my plans to a home, wife, and a baby I could find a job and go to school at night Do anything long as she was by my side Two years later I packed her bag in our car Don't recall the drive she was breathin' so hard And I wasn't lookin' anywhere near that far BRIDGE Three fifteen on a Sunday mornin' Good sign when a new baby cries Nurse looked out and said it's snowin' But I was lost in those two little eyes And her sweet little smile tore me apart A slice of paradise is right here where we are And to think I wasn't lookin' No I sure wasn't lookin'...anywhere near that far
