A love song 43 years in the making.

Just a good ole country boy/songwriter.
Story behind the song
Tells how Don and his wife got to go on their first date and the results thereof. A great love story.
Lyrics
Do We Have A Date
I can still remember
Back in 1963
It was late into December
It meant the world to me
I was talkin’ on a pay phone
In my old green Chevrolet
When you pulled up beside me
Here’s what you had to say
Am I too presumptuous
Or do we have a date
Are you comin’ early
Or pickin’ me up late
I really need an answer
And I ain’t gonna wait
Am I too presumptuous
Or do we have a date
I’m getting’ tired a’ waitin’
I wanna’ know the score
You can be aggravatin’
So tell me what’s for sure
My heart was aracin’
As I was sittin’ there
I’d been the one achasin’
You gave a cuttin’ stare
Am I too presumptuous
Or do we have a date
Are you comin’ early
Or pickin’ me up late
I really need an answer
And I ain’t gonna wait
Am I too presumptuous
Or do we have a date
My tongue got all twisted
What was I to do
There will be no more flirtin’
I just have eyes for you
It’s been a lot of years now
Since the first time that we met
But when I see our wedding rings
I never will forget
Am I too presumptuous
Or do we have a date
Are you coming early
Or pickin’ me up late
I really need an answer
And I ain’t gonna wait
Am I too presumptuous
Or do we have a date
Instr.Brk Short
During all those years
We held each other tight
Through the laughter and the tears
And it’s turned out just right
I recall the bad times
We pulled each other through
And I know for certain
I always will love you
Am I too presumptuous
Or do we have a date
Are you comin’ early
Or pickin’ me up late
I really need an answer
And I ain’t gonna wait
Am I too presumptuous
Or do we have a date
You weren’t too presumptuous
And thank you for the date
