Banned from the Back Porch

[Verse 1]
I stepped out into the night
Put my feet down on the wet patio floor
The sky's air had been cooling
Steam rose from everywhere
I could feel drops of rain slipping off tree's leaves
Spattering to the ground
It's always misty after a summer pour
I remember turning around and looking out
And staring in and focusing on that one beautiful girl

[Chorus]
And I said, "Oh, who is this?
Where was she all those crazy years?
Oh, who is this?
Where was she when my heart couldn't take its beat?"

[Verse 2]
I sipped down
Warm ginger ale
Drew back a breath
And headed over to see about this girl
I couldn't say a thing and I stared open and wide
And connected with her eyes to feel my gut fall through the floor

[Chorus] [x2]
"Oh, who is this?
Where was she all those crazy years?
Oh, who is this?
Where was she when my heart couldn't take its beat?"
