Sold (the Grundy County Auction Indident) Lyrics - John Michael Montgomery

Well I went down to the Grundy County auction 

Where I saw somethin' I just had to have 

My mind told me I should proceed with caution 

But my heart said go ahead make a bid on that 

And I said, "Hey pretty lady, won't you give me a sign? 

I'd give anything to make you mine all mine 

I'll do your biddin' and be at your beck and call" 

Yeah, I've never seen anyone lookin' so fine 

Man I gotta have her, she's a one-of-a-kind 

I'm goin' once, goin' twice 

I'm sold to 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, blonde hair, blue eyes 

An' I'm about to bid my heart goodbye 

Well the auctioneer was goin' about a mile a minute 

He was takin' bids and callin' them out loud 

And I guess I was really gettin' in it 

'Cause I just shouted out above the crowd 

And I said, "Hey pretty lady won't you give me a sign 

I'd give anything to make you mine all mine 

I'll do your biddin' and be at your beck and call" 

Yeah, I've never seen anyone lookin' so fine 

Man I gotta have her, she's a one-of-a-kind 

I'm goin' once, goin' twice 

I'm sold to the lady in the long black dress 

Well, she won my heart it was no contest 

With her ruby red lips, blonde hair, blue eyes 

Well, I'm about to bid my heart goodbye 

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 

When I said, "Hey pretty lady, won't you give me a sign? 

I'd give anything to make you mine all mine 

I'll do your biddin' and be at your beck and call" 

Yeah, I've never seen anyone lookin' so fine 

Man I gotta have her, she's a one-of-a-kind 

I'm goin' once, goin' twice 

And I'm sold to 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, blonde hair, blue eyes 

An' I'm about to bid my heart goodbye
