My daddy cried and cursed at the wind
He broke his own heart and I watched
As he tried to reassemble it
And my mama swore that she would
That was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love if
But darling, you are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
And we've got to find other ways
And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable distance
that I'm content with loneliness
But you are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
I've got a tight grip on reality, but I can't
Let go, what's in front of me here?
I know you'll leave it in the morning
With your face some kind of proof
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception
And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing
