Intro
[Soken word intro]
Fourteen Years Wasn't Too Long
Inspired by the Awesome Couple we met at Lainey Wilson Concert
Verse 1
Everybody kept on asking,
"So when's the wedding day?"
We'd just smile across the table,
There wasn't much to say.
We didn't need a calendar,
To tell us we belonged...
When your heart already knows the way,
Fourteen years wasn't too long.
Pre-Chorus
Some folks race toward forever,
Some take the slower road.
Love ain't measured by a date...
It's measured by the life you hold.
Chorus
Fourteen years wasn't too long,
When forever had already begun.
We weren't counting all the seasons...
We were counting every one.
Every mile, every sunrise,
Every dream we held on to.
If I'd have to live it all again...
I'd spend those fourteen years with you.
---
Verse 2
Twenty-eight years on the railroad,
Watching trains roll out each day.
Building dreams for two young children,
Helping light their way.
Now retirement's on the horizon,
Arizona's calling too...
Another highway, another concert,
Another sunset shared by two.
---
Bridge
If our children ever ask us,
"What matters most in life?"
Grow up happy... live your best life...
And always hold your loved ones tight.
Because there's nothing in this whole wide world
That could change the way we care.
That's the only kind of legacy
Worth leaving anywhere.
---
Final Chorus
Fourteen years wasn't too long...
It was just the opening song.
Now forever keeps on playing,
And we're still singing along.
Through every mile and every season,
Through every dream still shining through...
The best decision that we ever made...
Was choosing me and you.
