Sugarland Lyrics

Sugarland is an American country music duo composed of singer-songwriters Jennifer Nettles (lead vocals) and Kristian Bush (background vocals, mandolin, acoustic guitar). The duo was founded in 2003 by Bush and Kristen Hall (acoustic guitar, background vocals), and became a trio when Jennifer Nettles was brought in as lead singer.

Prior to Sugarland Nettles fronted the Jennifer Nettles band, while Hall had achieved success as a solo artist and songwriter. Bush's earlier musical career included being half of the duo Billy Pilgrim, (along with Andrew Hyra), recording for Atlantic Records in the 1990s. Signed to Mercury Nashville Records in 2004, Sugarland broke through that year with the release of their debut single "Baby Girl", the first single from their multi-platinum debut album Twice the Speed of Life. This album produced three more chart singles "Something More", "Just Might (Make Me Believe)", and "Down in Mississippi (Up to No Good)". Sugarland recorded its second album (2006's Enjoy the Ride), which was certified Multi-Platinum like its predecessor.

This album also produced Sugarland's first two Number One hits with "Want To" and "Settlin'", as well as additional Top Ten hits with "Everyday America" and "Stay."

Sugarland Lyrics :

Sugarland, warm breeze blowing, long dirt road
First time that I saw him was such a long time ago
I was sixteen going on seventeen
Blue bonnet Texas queen fell in love with a rodeo king
Down in Sugarland

Drive in movies, hot summer night
First time that I kissed him made the world seem right
I was city bound couldn't wait to get outta this town
Suddenly everything just changed
Something told me I just might stay
Down in sugarland

Down in sugarland doing the best we can
Holding hands staying up all night
Swinging stars from satelittes
Down in sugarland doing the best we can
Falling in love again down in sugarland

Corn fields swaying, clothes on the line
Tumbleweed is a turning like the hands of time
When I was sixteen going on seventeen
I didn't know much of anything
Living the American dream down in sugarland

And I see the small town smile in your eyes
Shining like a diamond in the sky
The sweet sky, under the sweet sky

Sweet skies of sugarland doing the best we can
Holding hands staying up all night
Swinging stars from satelittes down in sugarland
Doing the best we can
Falling in love again down in sugarland

Whoa, whoa, whoa, sugarland
Sweet skies of sugarland, sugarland
Sugarland warm breeze blowing
Long dirt road
Sugarland
