Flight 709 pulled up to the gate

An hour and 45 minutes late

And of course our connection was already in the air

Spent a day of our vacation in chicago o'hare

And like musical chairs at the baggage belt

We were the last ones standin' there when nothin' came out

Looking back now on our string of bad luck

That just wasn't our day but you know what?



That one night in las vegas

Lyin' there with you

Was well worth everything that you and i went through



And so it goes, our life's been that way

Puttin' out fires, takin' it day by day

And look at this year, it's been our hardest one yet

Just when we thought it had gotten bad as it could get

You got transferred to denver, i stayed behind

Put the house on the market 'bout went outta my mind

And your dad got sick, i've never seen you so scared

We almost didn't make it through the year



But that weekend in the mountains

In a cabin all by ourselves

Makin' that one memory made up for everything else



Oooh me and my insecurities

You and your stubborn pride

If we've learned anything it's there's no winner when we fight



So this mornin' in our kitchen

After talkin' all night long

We finally stopped tryin' to figure out

Who's right and who is wrong

And when you hold me like you're holdin' me

And i kiss your tired face

We know we took the long way here

But wound up in a better place



Baby one night in las vegas

Or one weekend in the mountains

Any moment we're together makes up for everything else
