You're the rush that makes me want to put the top down baby even when it rains,
I'm the buzz you want from the wine,
You put the bottle on and dance while it plays, yeah,
Yeah you like Johnny Cash like I do, I root for the Cubs like you do,

And that's how I know you've been looking for a guy whose been looking for a girl like you,
Ain't nothing he won't do,
To catch you in his arms and never let go,
Get married down in Mexico,
Fall more in love with every rise and fall of the moon,
You've been looking for a guy whose been looking for a girl like you, yeah,
Oh yeah,

You like a cherry on top a red striped straw in a Coca Cola classic,
I like a little Whiskey kick hitting my lips in the red solo plastic,
You dig the Whiskey in me, I dig your classic thing,

That's how I know you've been looking for a guy whose been looking for a girl like you,
Ain't nothing he won't do,
To catch you in his arms and never let go,
Get married down in Mexico,
Fall more in love with every rise and fall of the moon,
You've been looking for a guy whose been looking for a girl like you,

Some people search forever,
Can't seem to find that piece of Heaven,
That little piece of gold we've got,
Baby girl you can't stop,
Looking for a guy whose been looking for a girl like you,

You've been looking for a guy whose been looking for a girl like you,
Ain't nothing he won't do,
To catch you in his arms and never let go,
Get married down in Mexico,
Fall more in love with every rise and fall of the moon,
You've been looking for a guy whose been looking for a girl like you, yeah,
I've been looking for a girl like you.
