Eighteen years in a traveling band
Seen a lot of one night stands
And still i found myself so very much alone
And it took those years to find myself
Wasn't lookin' for no one else
And then i found you girl
But you were there all along
And we'll spend each day like it's the last day of the rest of our lives
I'll be the king you'll be my wife
Gonna make it thru this thing called life
Gonna raise these kids on our own
The very best we can
And sixteen hours is a long, long time
When you gotta love that's on your mind
Can you tell that i'm not right?
I'm a little distraught
And we'll spend each day like it's the last day of the rest of our lives
Everyday we'll fall in love just a little more
For the rest of our lives
Sittin' here in the county jail
Ain't no one to go my bail
I shoulda been there with you
For some sympathy and tea
And eighteen years in at traveling band
Seen a lot of one night stands
And still i found myself so very much alone
Repeat chorus
