The Way Love Grows

The Way Love Grows - (c) Chuck Schaeffer

Worked down the road from a beauty in a gallery
Said hardly a word to the girl she was Trouble indeed
‘Til a note on the store door provided the strength I need

Marshall Tucker sold-out in Butler Memorial Day
Parked at Roserne’s Liquors bummed a ticket from a parking valet

Sea of motorcycles, thinking I was dead
Total paranoia running through my head
Off to find a needle in a haystack for what lies ahead


Hugging, squeezin,
Kissing, pleasing
Laughing for whatever reason
Nothing bringing you down
It’s how the world gets around
That’s The Way Love Grows
It’s how the world gets around
That’s The Way Love Grows


So I swallowed the lump in my throat, walked through the gate
No turning back now, hoping for a good twist of fate

Forty minutes later my mind would be freed
Walking on the water, she parted the seas
We hugged and we danced and we sang, now Can’t You See


Hugging, squeezin,
Kissing, pleasing
Laughing for whatever reason
Nothing bringing you down
It’s how the world gets around
That’s The Way Love Grows
It’s how the world gets around
That’s The Way Love Grows


So we drove out of Butler,
Didn’t stop to think
Stayed at a cottage,
Couldn’t sleep a wink
Tickling turned to kissing
and sweet reminiscing of love


Hugging, squeezin,
Kissing, pleasing
Laughing for whatever reason
Nothing bringing you down
It’s how the world gets around
That’s The Way Love Grows

It’s how the world gets around
That’s The Way Love Grows
