Country Groomsman, City Bridesmaid

By Craig Whitley
0:00 / -0:00

[Verse 1]

I’m a good ol’ boy from Mobile, Alabama,

Got mud on my boots and a dip in my can-a.

Wearin’ my best jeans, pressed for the day,

Groomsman at a weddin’, gotta walk the right way.

She’s a New York gal, all fancy and fine,

High heels so tall, she’s stumblin’ in the pine.

Her nose in the air, sippin’ wine, not sweet tea,

Thinks a barn dance is some kinda travesty.

[Chorus]

Oh, country groomsman, city bridesmaid,

I saw her eyes, and my heart got waylaid.

She’s all Fifth Avenue, I’m a dirt road rambler,

But love at first sight’s got us both in a scramble.

She’s stuck-up, I’m country, we’re worlds apart,

But them sparks started flyin’, straight to my heart.

[Verse 2]

She scoffed at my pickup, called it a disgrace,

Said, “Where’s the Uber?” with that city-girl face.

I offered her cornbread, she pushed it away,

Said, “Gluten’s my enemy,” whatever that means today.

But when the band played “Sweet Home Alabama,”

I grabbed her hand, said, “C’mon, city mama!”

She twirled in that dress, and I swear I did swoon,

Her laugh lit up brighter than a Alabama moon.

 

[Chorus]

Oh, country groomsman, city bridesmaid,

I saw her eyes, and my heart got waylaid.

She’s all Fifth Avenue, I’m a dirt road rambler,

But love at first sight’s got us both in a scramble.

She’s stuck-up, I’m country, we’re worlds apart,

But them sparks started flyin’, straight to my heart.

 

[Bridge]

She said, “This ain’t no gala, where’s the champagne?”

I said, “Darlin’, try this Mason jar, it’s the same!”

She rolled her eyes, but then she took a sip,

Next thing you know, she’s dancin’ with a dip!

I taught her the two-step, she taught me to dream,

Of a penthouse and a porch swing, crazy as it seems.

She’s caviar wishes, I’m biscuits and gravy,

But this Alabama boy’s heart, she’s already savin’.

 

[Chorus]

Oh, country groomsman, city bridesmaid,

I saw her eyes, and my heart got waylaid.

She’s all Fifth Avenue, I’m a dirt road rambler,

But love at first sight’s got us both in a scramble.

She’s stuck-up, I’m country, we’re worlds apart,

But them sparks started flyin’, straight to my heart.

 

[Outro]

Now she’s got a cowboy hat, I’m wearin’ her smile,

We’re plannin’ a weddin’, country-city style.

From Alabama fields to her big-city lights,

We fell in love at first sight, and it feels so right.
