Ever After

When I was a little boy

My only dream was a yellow bus

Droppin' us kids off after school to run around

Tacklin' tree-forts and BB guns

Tossin' our lines in and catchin' frogs

Twelve hundred miles from a freckle-face southern girl's hometown

Only God knew how my trail would someday cross

Mm, that little girl, oh, all grown up, and how I'd fall

My only regret in life is I didn't meet you sooner

I would have spent my wasted youth all on you

I know I wasn't in your life for those first chapters, mm

But I'd sure love to be

Girl, won't ya write with me your happily ever after?

Findin' love in a modern world

It can be crazy, it can be work

Not like those fairy-tales that we heard in our younger years

So, I redefined what I thought love was

So I could settle, then you showed up

And made everyone who came before you disappear

I never knew that love could be easy as breathin'

You were everything I never knew I needed

My only regret in life is I didn't meet you sooner

I would have spent my wasted youth all on you

Though I wasn't in your life for those first chapters, mm

But I'd sure love to be

Girl, won't ya write with me your happily ever after?

Ya finish my thoughts, ya make me laugh

I finally found my other half

My only regret in life is I didn't meet you sooner

I would have spent my wasted youth all on you

No, I wasn't in your life for those first chapters, mm

But I'd sure love to be, girl, won't ya write with me, yeah

I'd sure love to be, girl, won't ya write with me your happily ever after?

Your happily ever after
