Living The Song
Verse 1
We were barely old enough to know
Just how far a lifetime had to go
We held hands, we took a chance
We had more dreams than circumstance
There was a country song we'd play
Young at the start, growing old on the way
We heard that first verse all night long
Never dreamed we'd live the whole song
Chorus
You said, “How'd we get to the end of the song?”
I swear the first verse wasn't that long
One minute we're young with forever to spend
Next thing you know, we're the ones at the end
But look at you, girl, look at me
We're everything those kids couldn't see
All those years were carrying us along
We're the lucky ones, we got to live that song
Verse 2
There were babies, bills, and busy days
Making it work in a million ways
Thousands of mornings, thousands of nights
A few good fights we made come right
Years don't ask, they just roll on through
And somehow I kept waking up with you
Then yesterday that old tune played
And thirty some years just fell away
Chorus
You said, “How'd we get to the end of the song?”
I swear the first verse wasn't that long
One minute we're young with forever to spend
Next thing you know, we're the ones at the end
But look at you, girl, look at me
We're everything those kids couldn't see
All those years were carrying us along
We're the lucky ones, we got to live that song
Final Chorus
So how'd we get to the end of the song?
By waking up together all along
By staying when staying was harder to do
By letting every year lead me back to you
Now we know forever goes faster than planned
It took all these years to finally understand
Maybe, my love, we had it all wrong
We didn't get to the end, we just kept
Living the song
Outro
So whatever verse comes along
In our precious country song
We know our love's a gift from above
You'll be here in my arms
We'll always be
Living on love
