And they said I was nothing but a troublemaker, never up to no good And 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 a 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 the 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 deep down, 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 wanna be your forever, so baby, will you be my wife? Now that we know a little better, we could have a real night life 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
