Tell me that you love me Say "We'll always work it out" I know it's kinda scary, but it's only temporary doubt I've done a lot of stupid things But promise that you're gonna stay long enough to grow old with me We're gonna see the good times, love each other through the bad It's gonna hurt like hell when we lose our moms and dads So let my shoulder hold your tears Walk beside me through the years Baby let's see, where this love could lead Let's hold hands on your favorite beach Fix up a house that we found in the city limits Tangled up in a satin sheet And get a little loud when we've had too much to drink And learn to love from a church pew Laugh about all the times we counted pennies Buy some land with a good view to start a family Baby grow old with me It's gonna take a little time, we'll have to work at it everyday We're gonna lose a lot of sleep and learn to eat out of a microwave You know we'll probably never have it all But that's part of building up the walls Strong enough to stand up through the rain We'll make some love on your favorite beach Add to the house that we found in the city limits Talk our babies through the bad dreams When they get a little older, we'll tell them not to drink Book a church when she finds a groom Laugh about all the times they'll count the pennies Give 'em land with a good view To start a family And baby you know we might take a turn down a bad road Maybe go where the wind blows, baby But end up right where we were meant to be, yeah Back and forth on a porch swing Hard not to smile, thinking how it don't get much better Our babies, babies turning 18 What a family, hmm Baby grow old with me Baby grow old with me Baby grow old with me, yeah Tell me that you love me Say "We'll always work it out"
