Knelt on Grits

Verse 1: I was just a small-town boy, livin' day by day, Wakin' up with the sunrise, workin' hard for my pay, Never thought a simple thing could change my point of view, But everything got twisted when I saw her kneelin' in the dew. Chorus: She knelt on grits, like a heartache in disguise, With a smile and a tear, she caught me by surprise, Now I'm feelin' different, can't seem to shake this twist, Just a boy from the country, but my heart’s been remissed. Verse 2: She was workin' in the kitchen, and the morning sun was low, With her hands in the mix, and a grace I didn’t know, There was somethin' in the way she moved, like a melody so sweet, And the grit beneath her knees felt like a love I’d never meet. Chorus: She knelt on grits, like a heartache in disguise, With a smile and a tear, she caught me by surprise, Now I'm feelin' different, can't seem to shake this twist, Just a boy from the country, but my heart’s been remissed. Bridge: Now every time I taste those grits, it’s not just food on my plate, It’s the way she knelt and looked at me, as if to change my fate, Maybe it’s the way she saw the world through simple, honest eyes, That made me see my own life through a different set of skies. Chorus: She knelt on grits, like a heartache in disguise, With a smile and a tear, she caught me by surprise, Now I'm feelin' different, can't seem to shake this twist, Just a boy from the country, but my heart’s been remissed. Outro: So here's to the girl who changed my way, With the grit of life beneath her and a heart that’ll always stay, I’ll remember her forever, and the way she made me see, That even simple things in life can set your spirit free.
