FIFTY

I REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST MET YOU
WASN’T LONG I COULDN'T FORGET YOU
YOUR PRETTY LITTLE SMILE, STRAWBERRY HAIR
PERFUME BLOWING THROUGH THE MOUNTAIN AIR

BETWEEN THE GRAND CANYON AND MANHATTAN
WHO KNOWS WHAT’LL HAPPEN
WE’LL START WITH HALF A PLAN, A FULL TANK OF GAS
WHERE WE’RE GOING WE DON’T HAVE TO GO FAST

Chorus:
WE’LL TAKE OUR TIME ON THE BACK ROADS OF LIFE
I'LL BE YOUR HUSBAND, YOU BE MY WIFE
WE’LL TAKE OUR TIME AND TRY ALL FIVE GEARS
LET'S MAKE THIS RIDE LAST FOR FIFTY YEARS

WE COULD WATCH HOME MOVIES
BUT WE’RE OUT MAKING NEW MEMORIES
HOLIDAYS AND ROAD TRIPS, JUNEBUGS AND SUNFISH
CANDLES, ANOTHER BIRTHDAY WISH

ALL THOSE SUMMER WEEKENDS TOGETHER
PICNICS DOWN BY THE RIVER
MAIN STREET CANDY SHOPS, CHERRY COLA GUMDROPS
SUNNY DAYS AND SOMETIMES RAINDROPS 

Chorus:
WE’LL TAKE OUR TIME ON THE BACK ROADS OF LIFE
I'LL BE YOUR HUSBAND, YOU BE MY WIFE
WE’LL TAKE OUR TIME AND TRY ALL FIVE GEARS
LET'S MAKE THIS RIDE LAST FOR FIFTY YEARS
LET'S MAKE THIS RIDE LAST FOR FIFTY YEARS

DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST TOLD YOU
HOW I KNEW I’D WANT TO GROW OLD WITH YOU
NOW WE’VE MADE A LIFE AND WE SHARE THE VIEW
THAT LIFE'S NOT SOMETHING YOU JUST GET THROUGH

Chorus:
WE’LL TAKE OUR TIME ON THE BACK ROADS OF LIFE
LET’S GO THE LONG WAY IF THAT’S ALRIGHT
WE’LL TAKE OUR TIME AND TRY ALL FIVE GEARS
LET'S MAKE THIS RIDE LAST FOR FIFTY YEARS
LET'S MAKE THIS RIDE LAST FOR FIFTY YEARS
