Lyrics:

Love came alive in a New York second

She was just a girl running from the city
I was just a farm boy looking for a good time
Neither one of us was out to fall in love
She was getting gas at Thompson's station
I was buying parts for the old man's tractor
When she looked at me, I knew it was more than love

And we talked and she smiled
And I swear, it about drove me half wild

Love came alive in a New York second
Just the way it's meant to be, I reckon
Felt so good, it just keeps getting better
All the time she's with me
Love came alive in a small town minute
Came along and swept us both up in it
The Texas sky ain't got no limit
Ever since her sweet love came alive

She was on her way up to Colorado
Stopped to see a friend down in Bormann
Just somehow how life takes its twists and turns
She asked me how to get to the local diner
I said 'I'll tell you if you let me join ya'
She said 'Fine' and love began to burn

We laughed and she smiled
And I swear, it about drove me half wild


Sweet love came alive
Sweet love
