[Verse 1]
Raven is the color of her long, curly hair
Red is the dress that she knows how to wear
Bluest eyes I've ever seen
Maybe just a touch of green
Oh, she could steal most any woman's man
This'd be a real good time to hold my hand

[Verse 2]
She walked up and said, "Hello, it's been a while"
Don't think I didn't notice the nervous in your smile
Wasn't that long ago you were a whole lot more than friends
This would be a real good time to hold my hand

[Chorus]
Don't let this moment linger
Now would be the time
To reach out with your fingers
And get 'em tangled up with mine
Let her know for sure
That I'm more than just a soft place to land
This'd be a real good time to hold my hand

[Bridge]
If I'm your future
And she's your past
If it's over with her
And our love's gonna last
[Chorus]
Don't let this moment linger
Now would be the time
To reach out with your fingers
And get 'em tangled up with mine
Let her know for sure
That I'm more than just a soft place to land
This would be a real good time
Oh, this would be a real good time
This would be a real good time to hold my hand

[Spoken to audience]
"Thank you
Thank you so much
I always joke and say
But it is the truth that the best two and a half minutes of my life thus far was performing that song with Dwight Yoakam on the Grammys a couple years ago"
