And they said I was nothin' 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 were sneaking out your window every night, riding shotgun in my car
We'd 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, and 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 at nine to five
Dreaming of the days when you were in my arms, I'd never felt so alive
I spent my days working, spent my nights drinking, howling at the moon
Screaming for them days when you were coming back, no it couldn't come too soon
Couldn't come too soon
When I was gonna be your forever, and 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, 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'd changed, but way did time, you had the same old feelings for me
I went to the store and bought you a ring, and I got down on one knee, down on one knee
And I said, I'm gonna be your forever, so baby will you be my wife
Now that we know a little better, and we could have a real nice time
Cause I'm what you wanted, you're 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
