He might have never asked her

Simple words put into lines
Just a melody and rhyme
But at that moment seemed so strong

How can a piece of poetry
Knock a grown man to his knees
And lead him by the heart to where he belongs?
Then it came on, the song

Larry Pearson had a crush
One more was never enough
He'd say, "I can quit anytime"

The whole town knew his name
They'd all say, "What a shame
He's wastin' away his life"

A stranger's quarter
Dropped into that corner jukebox
It's been almost two years
And guess what made him stop

Simple words put into lines
Just a melody and rhyme
But at that moment seemed so strong

How can a piece of poetry
Knock a grown man to his knees
And lead him by the heart to where he belongs?
Then it came on, the song

Simple words put into lines
Just a melody and rhyme
But at that moment seemed so strong

How can a piece of poetry
Knock a grown man to his knees
And lead him by the heart to where he belongs?
Like the song
It's more than just a song
