A baby's born in the middle of the night In a local delivery room They grab his feet, smack him 'til he cries He goes home the next afternoon Before you know it, he's off to school And then he graduates in May Goes out and gets a PhD and then Cures all sorts of things Wins the Nobel Prize and saves a million different lives The world's a better place for all he's done It's funny when you think about the reason he's alive It's all because two people fell in love Right now at a picnic shelter down by Carney Creek You'll find potato salad, hot dogs and baked beans The whole Wilson family's lined up fillin' their paper plates And they've drove or flown in here from 15 different states Stanley Wilson says that sixty years ago he knew That miss Emma Tucker was the one Now five generations get together every June And all because two people fell in love Yeah, there ain't nothin' not affected When two hearts get connected All that is, will be or ever was Every single choice we make Every breath we get to take Is all because two people fell in love Well, I recall a young man Who was driftin' aimlessly And a young waitress who seemed lonesome as could be But in a little café right off of 14th Avenue With a whole lot of help from up above We met and things sure turned around for me and you And all because two people fell in love Well, baby, there ain't nothin' not affected When two hearts get connected All that is, will be or ever was I'm glad your dad could not resist Your momma's charms and you exist All because two people fell in love You know to me, it's all so clear Every one of us is here All because two people fell in love A baby's born in the middle of the night In the local delivery room They grab his feet, smack him 'til he cries He goes home the next afternoon

Well, my nerves are exploding and my body's tense I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence I've been hit too hard, I've seen too much Nothing can heal me now, but your touch I just don't know what I'm gonna do I was alright 'til I fell in love with you Well, my house is on fire, burning to the sky Well, I thought it would rain but the clouds passed by Now I feel like I'm coming to the end of my way But I know God is my shield and He won't lead me astray Still I don't know what I'm gonna do I was alright 'til I fell in love with you Boys in the street beginning to play Girls like birds flying away When I'm gone, you will remember my name I'm gonna win my way to wealth and fame And I just don't know what I'm gonna do I was alright 'til I fell in love with you Well junk is piling up, taking up space My eyes feel like they're falling off my face Sweat falling down, I'm staring at the floor I'm thinking about that girl who won't be back no more I just don't know what I'm gonna do I was alright 'til I fell in love with you Well, I'm tired of talking, I'm tired of trying to explain My attempts to please you were all in vain Tomorrow night before the sun goes down If I'm still among the living, I'll be Dixie bound Still I just don't know what I'm gonna do I was alright 'til I fell in love with you
