LYRICS
She came dancing down Main Street just like a plastic bag floating in the wind
I’d been singing for change all day and feeling just brave enough to take her hand
I twirled her around, looked into her eyes and asked her “where you wanna go?”
She just smiled back at me and she said honey “I hope I’ll never know”
She felt so real, she felt so right
She felt like drinking whiskey by an open fire
Sweeter love I’ve never found
I followed her through the mountains, and she kept me warm in the Shenandoah rain
The notes she sang to my songs lit a fire in my heart, and helped me shine again
Then way up on the summit, looking out over Virginia, I finally found my melody
And now I know, no matter where I go, no one can take that from me
She felt so real, she felt so right
She felt like drinking whiskey by an open fire
Sweeter love I’ve never found
My heart’s never been the same since that St. Patrick’s Day
She’s still here beside me and we make music everywhere we go
And as for where our journey will end I hope I never know
I always dreamed that heaven was like a Baptist church window with the light pouring through
The older I get the more I realize, I’ve been there a time or two
She felt so real, she felt so right
She felt like drinking whiskey by an open fire
Sweeter love I’ve never found
My heart’s never been the same since that St. Patrick’s Day.
