Would Have Loved Her

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 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 been out a few times and it feels like I've known her for years

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

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

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

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

'Cause she's got brown eyes just like you

Her mama's glow that could 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
