[Verse 1]
Like number eight on a straightaway, last lap 'round Talladega
Like lightnin' in some Oklahoma town
I'm talkin' fast, girl, like a fastball when you're sittin' on a change-up
That's how fast that "when you know, you know" went down
[Chorus]
You had me in a heartbeat, in the flicker of a neon sign
In the time it takes to say, "Bartender, hey, two more Busch Lights"
I swear I knew in a blink of those baby blues
In the back of that smokey room, yeah, talk about meant to be
You had me in a heartbeat, mm
You had me in a heartbeat
[Verse 2]
Last thing on my mind was tryin' to find the one in rеcord time
Still can't believе that out-of-nowhere first-beer fall
I was thinkin' 'bout a diamond by the time that you were writin'
Down your number on a napkin at last call, that's it, that's all
[Chorus]
You had me in a heartbeat, in the flicker of a neon sign
In the time it takes to say, "Bartender, hey, two more Busch Lights"
I swear I knew in a blink of those baby blues
In the back of that smokey room, yeah, talk about meant to be
You had me in a heartbeat, mm
You had me in a heartbeat
[Bridge]
Wasn't no slow burn, wait and see, no
Maybe call you up next week, no
2 AM epiphany, one look and I was gone
[Chorus]
You had me in a heartbeat, in the flicker of a neon sign
In the time it takes to say, "Bartender, hey, two more Busch Lights"
I swear I knew in a blink of those baby blues
In the back of that smokey room, yeah, talk about meant to be
You had me in a heartbeat, mm (In the flicker of that neon sign)
You had me in a heartbeat (Bartender, hey, two more Busch Lights)
You had me in a heartbeat, mm (In the flicker of that neon sign)
Girl, you had me in a heartbeat (Bartender, hey, two more Busch Lights)
