Ashland City

John Hiatt

Well I don't know how I found her
Love works in mysterious ways
I could hardly afford a cup of coffee back then
Weren't exactly me sadder days (Saturdays?)

She knew I was just pretending
To be some kind of big shot
It took her two hours to tell a little something about herself
And that's when my heart stopped

'Cause she was just enough Ashland City
To wanna watch the sun go down
She was just enough small town girl
To cook my supper in an evening gown

But Lord didn't she look pretty
Doing that shake & bake
She was just enough Ashland City
And buddy that's about all it takes

------------------- we got married
I was going to show her the world
'Cause I was Mr. Sophisticated
And she was just a country girl

She wound up showing me everything
I've ever been dreamin' of
Well I might have known the way to San Jose
But I didn't know a thing about love

She was just enough Ashland City
Don't wanna put that t-top down
Take a skinny dip in that old gravel pit
about twenty miles outta town
And lord, didn't she look pretty
stepping outta them bell bottom jeans
Well she was just enough Ashland City
and that was more than I'd ever seen

That was fifteen years ago
Nothing much has changed
I still try to play the big shot
She still dresses strange

She still has a hard time telling you about herself
So let me tell you a little bit
About this woman I love
Cause buddy she is something else

'Cause she was just enough Ashland City
To wanna watch the sun go down
Just enough small town shy
to keep this ol' boy around

But Lord didn't she look pretty
in evening gown or jeans
She was just enough Ashland City
And that's just enough woman for me
