John Michael Montgomery
Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident)
[Verse 1]
Well, I went down to the Grundy County Auction
Where I saw something I just had to have
My mind told me I should proceed with caution
But my heart said go ahead and make a bid on that
[Chorus]
And I said, "Hey, pretty lady, won't you gimme a sign?"
I'd give anything to make you mine all mine
I'll do your bidding and be at your beck and call
Yeah, I've never seen anyone looking so fine
Man, I gotta have her, she's a one of a kind
I'm going once, going twice
And I'm sold on the lady in the second row
She's an eight, she's a nine, she's a ten, I know
She's got ruby red lips, blond hair, blue eyes
And I'm about to bid my heart goodbye
[Verse 2]
Well, the auctioneer was going 'bout a mile a minute
He was taking bids and calling them out loud
And I guess I was really getting in it
'Cause I just shouted out above the crowd
[Chorus]
And I said, "Hey, pretty lady, won't you gimme a sign?"
I'd give anything to make you mine all mine
I'll do your bidding and be at your beck and call
Yeah, I've never seen anyone looking so fine
Man, I gotta have her, she's a one of a kind
I'm going once, going twice
And I'm sold on the lady in the long black dress
Well, she won my heart, it was no contest
With her ruby red lips, blond hair, blue eyes
Well, I'm about to bid my heart goodbye
[Bridge]
Yeah, we found love on the auction block
And I hauled her heart away
Now we still love to laugh about
The way we met that day
[Chorus]
When I said, "Hey, pretty lady, won't you gimme a sign?"
I'd give anything to make you mine all mine
I'll do your bidding and be at your beck and call
Yeah, I've never seen anyone looking so fine
Man, I gotta have her, she's a one of a kind
I'm going once, going twice
And I'm sold on the lady in the second row
She's an eight, she's a nine, she's a ten, I know
She's got ruby red lips, blond hair, blue eyes
And I'm about to bid my heart goodbye
