The Story Behind This Song
True story. We'd just finished gator hunting in the Florida swamps — not exactly where you'd expect a love story to start. No tent. No plan. Just JT with a grin and a dare saying "trust me darlin, there's a hammock up there." And he hung me in a tree. In the swamp. With gators in the water below.
I should have been terrified. Hogs moving in the shadows. Crickets and frogs screaming. Swamp breath everywhere. But I wasn't scared. Not even a little. Then I fell out of the hammock, hit the sand hard, and he just laughed, took my hand, pulled me close and kissed me. Danger everywhere — but peace was mine.
The most unlikely place for a love story became the most unforgettable night. What happened in the dark? Only the gators know.
Be the first one around the fire.
