Marty Heddin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With the moonlight shinin' in her hair
Buddy, she's the one I told you about
You know this restless heart of mine
Ain't the fallin' in love kind
But I think it might be too late for that now
That girl is a game changer
The devil in me is in a world a world of danger
This hell raiser is a backseat taker now
Since she come around
That girl is a risk taker
A wild horse breaker
When the lights go down she's a sweet love maker
And I finally found the one I can't live with without
That girl is a game changer
There's just something bout' her smile
That makes me want to lay it all out on the line
And everybody round here knows
This is bout' the time that I let go
But I can't afford to say goodbye this time
Cause' that girl is a game changer
A soul savior
The devil in me is in a world a world of danger
This hell raiser is a backseat taker now
Since she come around
That girl is a risk taker
A wild horse breaker
When the lights go down she's a sweet love maker
And I finally found the one I can't live with without
That girl is a game changer
That girl is a game changer
A soul savior
The devil in me is in a world a world of danger
This hell raiser is a backseat taker now
Since she come around
That girl is a risk taker
A wild horse breaker
When the lights go down she's a sweet love maker
And I finally found the one I can't live with without
That girl is a game changer
