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
