Greatest Love Story

They said I was nothing 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 going to be your forever

You were going to 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 can meet in between

We were going to be the greatest love story

This town had ever seen

So you went off to college and I got a job

I was working that 9 to 5

Dreaming of the days when you were in my arms

I had 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 going to be your forever

And you were going to 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 can meet in between

We were going to 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 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 want to be your forever

So baby, will you be my wife?

Now that we know a little better

We could have a real nice life

'Cause I'm what you want

And you're what I need

So let's meet in between

We are going to be the greatest love story

This town has ever seen

We are going to be the greatest love story

This world has ever seen

So baby, say yes to me
