What's your all time high, your good as it gets? Your hands down best ever make-up sex? What's your guilty pleasure, your old go to? Well if you ask me, mine would be you What's your worst hangover, your best night yet? Your 90 proof, your Marlboro Red? The best damn thing you lucked into That's easy girl, mine would be you Mine would be you Sun keeps shining, back road flying Singing like crazy fools Making up our own words Laughing 'til it hurts Baby, if I had to choose My best day ever My finest hour, my wildest dream come true Mine would be you What's your double dare, your go all in? The craziest thing you ever did? Plain as your name in this tattoo Look on my arm, mine would be you Mine would be you Sun keeps shining, back road flying Singing like crazy fools Making up our own words Laughing 'til it hurts Baby, if I had to choose My best day ever My finest hour, my wildest dream come true Mine would be you What's the greatest chapter in your book? Are there pages where it hurts to look? What's the one regret you can't work through? You got it baby, mine would be you Yeah you got it baby, mine would be you Mine would be you Taillights fading Daylight breaking Standing there like a fool When I should've been running Yellin' out something To make you wanna hold onto The best love ever Girl, can you tell me The one thing you'd rather die than lose? 'Cause mine would be you Mine would be you
