While Sittin' At the Light
*written for my daughter Erin's birthday, to be sung by her boyfriend and his band(??)
Rolled up to the street light and there she sat
Rappin ' 'er fingers to the beat on her dash
Where did she come from, hidin' in the world?
How could it be I've never seen this girl?
Sportin' a cigarette 'neath the sleeve of her top
Bumper sticker says she's a fan of SlipKnot
Smiled at me as I rounded the curb
Had to get a second look so I threw it in reverse
Shouted out a tune to me as I caught her eye
No doubt about it she's just gotta have a guy
(chorus)
Don't know what she's doin'
Don't know if it's right
Don't care I'm gonna stare
While sittin' at the light
Is she thinkin' the same thing?
Is it love at first sight?
I'm gonna get to know her if it takes all night
Chocolate eyes and caramel hair
She's a beauty in the making
And I just gotta stare
A captivating smile like she knows what's up
Wanna show her I mean business
And she's gonna make it tough
Light turns green and she's takin' off
Don't wanna lose sight of her down the block
Wanna take her home
I grab my phone
Snap a picture of her
Before she's gone
(repeat chorus)
