Would Have Loved Her

[Verse 1]
Hey pops, I ain't been around
I know, I was just down at mama's house
And she told me I should swing on by and see ya 'fore I roll outta here
Yeah, I, I think I met the one
But I, I don't wanna jump the gun
We've been out a few times and it feels like I've known her for years

[Chorus]
She's from a small town just like you
She's got a smile that could light up the room
She's pretty as a hallelujah
But don't let it fool ya
'Cause she'll dance when she drinks
And she'll say what she thinks
She makes me a better man like you did
I miss you and wish you could just meet each other
'Cause I bet you would've loved her
Dad, I bet you would've loved her

[Verse 2]
Hey pops, that girl I told ya 'bout
Yeah, we, we've been married a couple months now
And we saved you a spot next to mama on that front church pew
Yeah, I bet you would've loved our wedding band
I bet you would've slid in and stole a dance
I bet you would've cried
I bet you would've laughed
I bet you would've loved it when she called you dad

[Chorus]
She's from a small town just like you
She's got a smile that could light up the room
She's pretty as a hallelujah
But don't let it fool ya
'Cause she'll dance when she drinks
And she'll say what she thinks
She makes me a better man like you did
I miss you and wish you could just meet each other
'Cause I bet you would've loved her
Dad, I bet you would've loved her

[Bridge]
Hey pops, you know I hate to cry
But I, I just let 'em rain that night
That I held your grandbaby in my hands for the very first time

[Chorus]
'Cause she's got brown eyes just like you
Her mama's glow that can light up the room
She's pretty as a hallelujah
And that smile that'll do something to ya
She'll dance when I sing
And she's my everything
She makes me a better man like you did
I miss you and wish you could just meet each other
'Cause I know you would've loved her
Oh yeah
Dad, I know you would've loved her
