They said I was nothing but a troublemaker never up to no good You were the perfect all American girl wouldn't touch me even if you could But you was sneaking out your window everynight riding shotgun in my car We go to the river and find us a spot and we probably went a little too far Just a little too far 'Cause I was gonna be your forever You were gonna be my wife We didn't know any better Didn't have a clue about life But I was what you wanted you were what I needed And we could meet in between We were gonna be the greatest love story this town had ever seen So you went off to college and I got a job I was working that 9 to 5 Dreaming of the days when you were in my arms I've never felt so alive I spent my days working, spent my nights drinking, howling at the moon Screaming for the days when you were coming back, no couldn't come to soon Couldn't come to soon When I was gonna be your forever You were gonna be my wife But you went off to find better And I was learning all about life But I was what you wanted and you were what I needed And we could meet in between We were gonna be the greatest love story this town had ever seen So you came back after a long four years Your college boyfriend didn't work out So we went out for a couple of drinks to find out who we are now Sure we changed but way deep down you had the same old feelings for me I went to the store and I bought you a ring and I got down on one knee Down on one knee And I said I wanna be your forever So baby will you be my wife Now that we know a little better We could have a real nice life 'Cause I'm what you wanted and your what I need So let's meet in between We're gonna be the greatest love story this town has ever seen We're gonna be the greatest love story this world has ever seen So baby say yes to me
