That one truck stop was a little oasis
Last chance for gas in those wide open spaces
We were both feeling lonely on that desert highway
Silently wondering "are you headed my way?"

I felt something fleeting when our eyes first met
That familiar feeling I could never forget
We could go on alone and say goodbye forever
Or turn a new page and roll on together

So we tore off together in that old Corvette
A little too fast into the red sunset
We never thought twice 'bout what the future might hold
Didn't know we were headed down a dead end road

Pedal to the metal doing one oh five
With my hand on your lap I was feeling alive
You turned the radio up and rolled your window down
Just for kicks I turned the headlights out

Later when you asked if we could stop for the night
Somehow I missed that blue highway sign
I got turned around; I hit the brakes
We started to wonder if we'd made a mistake

On a pitch black night we were running blind
No headlights on past a dead end sign
It happened fast, but then it happened so slow
Stuck in a ditch down the dead end road

How'd it happen so fast? How'd it go so wrong?
Like the band stopped playing in the middle of the song
Next thing we knew we were dead in our tracks
We couldn't go forward and we couldn't go back

And it felt like we were stuck there for years
All that we shared were harsh words and tears
We got to the point we couldn't take any more
We both got out and we slammed the doors

We're not giving up; we didn't fail
It's more like breaking ourselves out of jail
Just 'cause we aren't lovers doesn't make us foes
We're walking each other up the dead end road

You never know what's behind the door you keep closed
I'm glad we went down that dead end road

It's so hard to put in words the way you make me feel
It's like the day we met is when my life became real
There's no woman on Earth could hold a candle to you
I've never felt a love that's so natural and true

You give me all of your love, you take my breath away
You leave me wanting more at the end of every day
You make me smile, make me laugh, and you make my heart race
You're a bombshell in blue jeans, and you're lightning in lace

To the kids you're a hero, you're a pillar of strength
You teach them to love, and you teach them to think
When they do something foolish, you protect them from harm
And through the laughter and tears they both love their supermom

And to me you're my partner, my lover, my queen
You're the one who showed me what “soulmate” really means
We really fit together like a hand in a glove
I can't wait to spend my whole life with you in love

You give me all of your love, you take my breath away
You leave me wanting more at the end of every day
You make me smile, make me laugh, and you make my heart race
You're a bombshell in blue jeans, and you're lightning in lace

Many years from now we'll look back on it all
I'm gonna turn to you and smile and say “I've had a ball”
There'll be good days and bad, but whatever they bring
If I get to spend them with you then I wouldn't change a thing

You give me all of your love, you take my breath away
You leave me wanting more at the end of every day
You make me smile, make me laugh, and you make my heart race
You look hot in your blue jeans, but you're lightning in lace
