Great title!
Your verses are pretty good too.
I think there’s a step missing in the story from verse to chorus. Maybe rework it some. Definitely onto something good!

[Verse 1]
That Colorado red clay
Stuck to your boots, your frayed
Old shirt sleeves and worn-out blue jeans,
All told me straight away:
Brushpopper, damn handful,
straight talkin' man, I should
Just keep my fool head down

[Chorus]
But I love you now
I love you now
Yes, I love you,
Oh, I love you
Damn, I love you now
Song that's gone from
new and unsung
To my favorite sound
I love you now
Now I see you're the one, yeah
Come to me
Search no more

[Verse 2]
We both learned "alone" the hard way
Both lost our roots
Both fighters, lone riders
Ain't taking on no strays
Pretty brushpopper, damn handful
You made my horse stand still
Just long enough to make me climb on down

[Chorus]
And I love you now
I love you now
Yes, I love you
Oh, I love you
Damn, I love you now
Song that's gone from new and unsung
To my favorite sound
I love you now
Now I see you're the one, yeah
Come to me
Search no more

[Outro]
I love you now
(Brushpopper, damn handful)
I love you now
I love you now (Brushpopper, damn handful)
(I love you now)
Oh I love you (Brushpopper, damn handful)
Yes I love you (Oh)
(yes I love you, yes I love you)
(Brushpopper damn handful)
I love you now
(Brushpopper damn handful)
Oh, I love you now oo-oo-oo (Brushpopper, damn handful)
Oh, I love you (Ooooooooo)
Yes, I love you (Iove you now)
We both learned "alone" the hard way
I love you now
I love you now
