HER NAME WAS MADELINE CONNERS

AND I AM THE MAN THAT SHE PICKED

SHE WATCHED HER DADDY'S MONEY

BUILD THEIR HOUSE ON THE HILL

AND WATCHED ME AND MY DADDY

LAY EVERY BRICK



HER DAD COULDN'T SEE US TOGETHER

AND THE TRUTH IS, NEITHER DID MINE

THEY COULDN'T KNOW

FROM THE VERY FIRST TIME THAT

WE KISSED

WE KNEW IN OUR HEARTS

WE RHYMED



(CHORUS:)

WE'RE NOT POETRY IN MOTION

LIKE THE OCEAN'S BLUE WAVES

WE'RE JUST FLESH AND BLOOD

EMOTION

BORN IN RED GEORGIA CLAY

OUR LOVE IS A LYRIC

A SONG WITH NO LINES

WE KNOW IN OUR HEARTS

WE RHYME



THE NURSE HELD HER UP TO THE

WINDOW

AND I TRACED HER FACE THROUGH

THE GLASS

SHE'S GOT MY LOVE FOR SLEEPING

AND MADELINE'S NOSE

AND I'M ALREADY THINKING

SHE'LL GROW UP TOO FAS



I THINK OF THE DAY THAT'S A COMING

WHEN A BOY WANTS THIS BABY OF

MINE

I'M NOT SURE THAT I'LL LIKE IT

BUT I'LL HAVE TO LET GO

WHEN SHE SAYS TO ME

"DADDY, WE RHYME"



(REPEAT CHORUS)



WE KNOW IN OUR HEARTS

WE RHYME
