True Believer

Kickin' at the gravel in the parking lot

Runnin' cross the street to the record shop

Talkin' to my buddy 'bout some hip-hop tune

Hotter than a firework and it's still June.

Sun's about to burn itself right outta the sky

Guess we'll all be lucky if we don't fry

And the preacher's baptizing at the river bend

Wash the dust off of Dixie start all over again.

It was Saturday night and I swore I'd never leave her

We had the Hossman blastin' on the radio receiver

They say history plays tricks she's a real deceiver

She gave me something from her heart back then

Made me a true believer.

Yeah, and I believed every little word we said

Whisper through the sycamores in my head

Did we really drive her daddy's truck across Dry Creek

Well, my hands started shakin' as my knees went weak.

Then we pulled back in the woods and shut the headlights off

Aw, girl how'd you ever get your hair so soft

I can't see what I'm doin' don't know if I should

I can't see what I'm doin' Lord it sure feels good.

It was Saturday night and I swore I'd never leave her

We had the Hossman blastin' on the radio receiver

They say history plays tricks she's a real deceiver

She gave me something from her heart back then

Made me a true believer.

I'm a true believer and I'm lookin' for a sign

That she can still hear this heart of mine

Beatin' to the rhythm of the rock and roll

I'm a true believer that the girl's got soul.

Now I'm back in Alabama by that river bend

Where that preacher's baptizing his flock again

Now we had some bad times and a little luck

And her daddy gave us that old pick-up truck.

And we drove it on up to Birmingham

And we bought ourselves a pair of matching wedding bands

Hey Lord, that was almost twenty-eight years ago

And we still got the Hossman on the radio.

It was Saturday night and I swore I'd never leave her

We had the Hossman blastin' on the radio receiver

They say history plays tricks she's a real deceiver

She gave me something from her heart back then

Made me a true believer.

True Believer.

A true believer.

She made me a true believer.

Yes, I'm a true believer...
