She walked in the bar with them tight blue jeans
Every inch of denim straining at the seams
She was proud of what God gave her
She left no doubt
She was letting it all hang out
She had painted lips and high-heel shoes
Most of her teeth and a fine tattoo
And though she’s not the girl for me let me tell you son
She’s some kinda sexy to someone

(Chorus)
She’s some kind of sexy
And I think she’s out to get me
Guess it’s time for me to turn and run
Some kind sexy
She ain’t gonna catch me
But she’s some kind of sexy to someone

She walked on up and ordered me a beer
She said, “Hey cowboy, I ain’t seen you here.”
She looked me over like she had a plan
She was a whole lotta woman looking for a whole lotta man
As she bent down on the dance floor I could not believe my eyes
I never knew they made a thong in her size
And though she’s not the girl for me let me tell you son
She’s some kinda sexy to someone

(Repeat chorus)

Then she leaned over and whispered in my ear
Come on stud let’s steal away from here
She almost had her hooks in me and now I’m on the run
She’s some kinda sexy
She ain’t gonnna catch me
But she’s some kinda sexy to someone

On the hillside
Before the leaves die
It’s all reds and greens and golds
We watch the birds fly
Looks like a carpet against a blue sky
Guess in all these earthly treasures is where my heart lies

I count the churches just like sheep
It’s been so long since I could sleep
We’ve got miles and miles to go before our hope
becomes belief

The clouds are back-lit
By the sunset
But some light is sneaking through
Like one last regret
And on the radio
All the music
Sounds so sweet and full of love
And full of Jesus

I count the churches just like sheep
It’s been so long since I could sleep
We’ve got miles and miles to go before our hope
becomes belief

We put our wheels down in some small town
Where all the people seem so kind
They pray for us ‘cuz they’re all glory bound
Then we leave them all behind

There’s a billboard
Above the highway
Asking “if you died today would eternity await?”
You know I’m not sure
But if I had my way
There’d be something at the end of all this heartache

I count the churches just like sheep
It’s been so long since I could sleep
We’ve got miles and miles to go before our hope
becomes belief
