"Tupelo"

Yes, I googled "Tupelo."  I fell so in love with this song that I thought Hillary Lindsey was brilliant enough to make it up.  Well, I was wrong...they also actually are known for their 'honey.'  Brilliance, pure brilliance.  Tupelo, Mississippi is also the birthplace of Elvis, bet you didn't know that!

Currently, it's the middle of winter, but with one listen, it's 98 degrees (no pun intended), top down, sun blaring...summertime in under 4 minutes.  I hope this is a single!  I heard this on Songs That Need A Home's reverbnation a while ago and fell head over heels.  Now I'm happy that I'm not the stalker that knows every word to an unreleased song.

FM Radio:
Singer: Lauren Alaina/Hillary Lindsey
Songwriters: Hillary Lindsey, Gordie Sampson, Steve McEwan
Song: "Tupelo"

Picked a wildflower off the side of the road
You put it in my hair
Two bare feet up on the dashboard
Hands waving through the summer air
Looking at you, looking at me
With the wind strapped to our backs
Flying as high as a bird in the sky
Don't get much better than that
And we sang all the way down to Tupelo
Love struck right on the money
Heartbeats a beating to the radio
Kisses sweet as the honey
Down in Tupelo
All the way down to Tupelo
Counting the white lines a mile by mile
Worries slipping away
Took a back road for a little slow down
Off of the interstate
We followed the river as far as it goes
Smiling in the July sun
Hearing you say, you were falling in love
I said, you ain't the only one
And we sang all the way down to Tupelo
Love struck right on the money
Heartbeats a beating to the radio
Kisses sweet as the honey
Down in Tupelo
All the way down
La la la la la la
Wind strapped to our backs
La la la la la la
Don't get much better than that
And we sang all the way down to Tupelo
Love struck right on the money
Heartbeats a beating to the radio
Kisses sweet, kisses sweet
And we sang all the way down to Tupelo
Love struck right on the money
Heartbeats a beating to the radio
Kisses sweet as the honey
Down in Tupelo
All the way down to Tupelo
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
All the way down to Tupelo, yeah
All the way down to Tupelo
All the way down to Tupelo
