lyrics

APRIL MAYS
(Bill Carter - Blame Music BMI)



RIGHT OUTSIDE OF NOWHERE DOWN A BUMPY HAYS COUNTY ROAD
LIVED THE ZACK AND SARAH MAYS FAMILY, I WAS JUST FOURTEEN
YEARS OLD....I WAS JUST FOURTEEN YEARS OLD

THEY HAD A VERY FEISTY DAUGHTER, THEY CALLED HER APRIL MAYS
I KNEW I SHOULDNT HADNT OUGHTA, BUT I LOVED HER ANYWAY...YEA
I LOVED HER ANYWAYS

SHE NEVER WORE NO MAKE-UP, SHE ONLY HAD ONE SUNDAY DRESS
SHE WAS SUCH A NATURAL BEAUTY, I WAS A FOUR-EYED MESS...YES
I WAS A FOUR-EYED MESS

CHORUS:
APRIL MAYS, PRETTY AS YOUR NAME WAS YOUR FACE
APRIL MAYS, THAT LITTLE COUNTRY GIRL MADE MY DREAM
WORLD A HAPPY TIME AND A BETTER PLACE

TOO SHY AND AFRAID TO APPROACH HER, SHE WAS SMART AS SHE
COULD BE
I COULD NEVER FOOL THOSE GREEN EYES INTO A SECOND LOOK AT
ME.......INTO A SECOND LOOK AT ME

REPEAT CHORUS:

I'D THINK ABOUT HER WHEN I'D DAYDREAM, AT NIGHT SHE MADE ME
CLIMB THE WALLS
SHE'D BAKE HOT BREAD IN THE MORNING I'D SEE HER EATIN' IN THE
HALLS......YEA ID SEE HER EATIN' IN THE HALLS

MAMA RAISED HER TO BE SOMETHING, NO NOTHIN' LIKE THE OTHER GIRLS
WHO'D SNEAK OUT LATE IN THE EVENING WITH THEIR HAIR ALL DYED
AND CURLED....WITH THEIR HAIR ALL DYED AND CURLED

REPEAT CHORUS:
