Nothing Could Have Stopped Us Back Then Anyway..

Nothing Could Have Stopped Us Back Then Anyway..

We laughed, we cried, we threw the television off that balcony

That memory means so much to me

No doubt in me I do believe that no one

Listens to both sides

Except the neighbors

Fine art of compromise

Happy losing half of mine

Cause she’ll lose her half later

First taste of being victim of the very songs I sing

Ended up with “say goodbye” and “I hope I hear good things”

Walk away

Walk away

Nothing could have stopped us back then anyway

Remember when you safety pinned the tablecloth to my pants

And I stood up to the sound of dancing and

The sound of our romance beginning

Kicked out the restaurant

To make the night complete

Six pack and a happy meal

On a park bench down the street

Dinner with Tennessee’s elite

“Once upon a time” is how a fairy tale sells it

“Sit down you won’t believe this shit” is how the trucker tells it

Strike up the band

Hire the piper we will pay

Nothing could have stopped us back then anyway
