Maxwell Park

Lyrics
Verse 1
At Maxwell Park by the chain-link fence
James Winslow Henry the second pulls his truck up slow
Tall in his steel toe boots
No shirt on, jeans worn low
Beer in his hand, that grin so mean
He looked my way and I knew my fate
Emily, lil mama, heart in a spin
One little smile and I was gone too late
Pre-Chorus
Green eyes hit like a porch light glow
Soft hair falling down so free
Daizy dukes, and that breeze went thin
When he walked up close to me
Chorus
Don't trip, lil mama
Tie your shoes
He said, don't trip, lil mama
Tie your shoes
And I fell in deep
At Maxwell Park with you
(Don't trip, lil mama)
Verse 2
I'm only five foot two, you know
Still you caught me like you knew my name
Hands on my waist in the sunset gold
And my whole world changed
James Winslow Henry the second, sweet
Charming handsome, rough around the edge
I laughed so hard, then held my breath
When he kissed my fear right off the ledge
Pre-Chorus
Green eyes hit like a porch light glow
Soft hair falling down so free
Daizy dukes, and that breeze went thin
When he walked up close to me
Chorus
Don't trip, lil mama
Tie your shoes
He said, don't trip, lil mama
Tie your shoes
And I fell in deep
At Maxwell Park with you
(Don't trip, lil mama)
Bridge
Sun sink slow in a honey sky
His beer got warm, my cheeks turned red
He laughed and said, "I got you now"
Then he pulled me close instead
I knew right then, with one small touch
That I was gone, gone through
At Maxwell Park, in the fading light
He caught me like he said he'd do
Chorus
Don't trip, lil mama
Tie your shoes
He said, don't trip, lil mama
Tie your shoes
And I fell in deep
At Maxwell Park with you
(Don't trip, lil mama)
