The Ballad of John and Michelle - Acoustic Version

He was a small town boy by the name of John
Yeah he moved here from Saskatchewan
And he knows exactly what he's looking for
A girl to carry through his front door
A girl to carry through his front door

Well her name was Michelle and she looked so fine
He thought about her all the time
His friends said man you better watch yourself
She ain't the kind to stick around
She ain't the kind to stick around

And she told him she loved him too
And he believed it like a fool
And she promised
She ain't never gonna forget him
She ain't never gonna forget him

But he loved that little girl anyway
And he called her on the phone near everyday
And he drove to her house and knocked on the door
He said you are the girl I've been looking for
He said you are the girl I've been looking for

So he got on a knee and gave her a ring
He said listen up I've got a song to sing
And her ears perked up and her eyes got wide
He sang "You are the stars in my sky"
He sang "You are the stars in my sky"

And she told him she loved him too
And he believed it like a fool
And she promised
She ain't never gonna forget him
She ain't never gonna forget him

The sun was shining on their wedding day
He was waiting up there for the words to say
But she ran off to another town
I guess she ain't the kind to stick around
I guess she ain't the kind to stick around

Well I asked him later do you regret
Loving that girl and losing her yet
He said "Her heart ain't mine to win"
"I may have lost but I'll love again"
"I may have lost but I'll love again"

And she told him she loved him too
And he believed it like a fool
Then he promised
He ain't never gonna forget her
He ain't never gonna forget her
