[Verse 1]
She was pacing back and forth on her front porch
I pulled up slinging gravel in my Daddy's Ford
She cried all the way to Johnson's store
I kept the motor running and parked by the door

[Verse 2]
Yeah I was foolish and wild
She was classic and regal
We were fresh out of school, both barely legal
We were young and on fire and just couldn't wait
Six weeks in, she was three weeks late

[Chorus 1]
One means none and we're home free
Two means three and a diamond ring
Yeah I wonder what fate is going to decide
We're just sitting around waiting on two pink lines
Sitting around waiting on two pink lines

[Verse 3]
Yeah her Daddy's going to kill me and that’s a fact
Maybe we'll just leave town and never come back
Or I could stand there and tell him
Face him like a man
Oh who am I kidding, he'll never understand

[Chorus 2]
Yeah that’s second hand just keeps slowing down
I swear it stopped twice the last time around
Yeah we'll know the truth in three minutes time
We're just sitting around waiting on two pink lines
Sitting around waiting on two pink lines

[Bridge]
Hot summer nights, whispering her name
Under the blanket by the river bank
Hearts beating fast we never thought twice
But she pulled me close and I held on tight

[Verse 4]
When the moment of truth finally comes
She gives me a look and then comes undone
She says looks like we're lucky
Someone’s smiling down
She grabs her coat and says see ya around

[Chorus 3]
Yeah these days the rabbit doesn't die
You just sit around waiting on two pink lines
Praying that fate is on your side
Sitting around waiting on two pink lines
Sitting around waiting on two pink lines

Eric Church is an American country music singer-songwriter from Granite Falls, North Carolina. After graduating from Appalachian State University with a business degree in 2000, Eric became engaged to a Spanish teacher from Lenior, NC whose father attempted to deter his musical aspirations by offering him a corporate career in Denver. After turning down her father’s offer, Church’s ex-fiance broke the engagement, giving Church motivation to move to Nashville and begin focusing solely on his music. Recollections of this turning point in Church’s life are heard throughout his lyrical portfolio (most prominently in “Those I’ve Loved”).

After a period of being overlooked by record labels and producers, Church was eventually signed to Capitol Records in 2006, making his debut with the album, Sinners Like Me. The album produced four singles on the Billboard Country Chart, “How ‘Bout You,” “Two Pink Lines,” “Guys Like Me,” and the album’s title track.

His second album, 2009’s Carolina, produced three more “Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most,” and “Hell on the Heart.”
