Lyrics Joe Nichols

Joe Nichols

Crickets

Pass the cotton fields and the old spring mill

We laid a blanket down where the world was still

Where nothing but a quarter of moon lights up the dark

Just me and her letting nature work

When it feels so right there's no need for words

All cuddled up just listening to our hearts

And the crickets, itty bitty crickets

Ain't another sound for miles around, just listen

It's quiet, real quiet

When the crickets start chirping, lord, don't they say it all

It was going great, just our third date

We were taking it slow, but getting carried away

I never thought you could fall so far so soon

It could have been the rice or the Boones Farm wine

But either way my tongue came untied

We both heard me say "I love you"

Crickets, nothing but crickets

Ain't another sound for miles around, just listen

It's quiet, real quiet

When the crickets start chirping, lord, don't they say it all

It might have been seconds but it felt like an hour

Then she gave me a kiss, said it's all worked out

Got my mama's white dress, my grandmama's ring

I know a little church baby what do you think

She said what do you think

It's quiet, ha ha, real quiet

When the crickets start chirping, lord, don't they say it all

Oh crickets, itty bitty crickets

When the crickets start chirping, lord, don't they say it all
