| Flight 709 pulled up to the gate
|
| An hour and 45 minutes late
|
| And of course our connection was already in the air
|
| Spent a day of our vacation in Chicago O’Hare
|
| And like musical chairs at the baggage belt
|
| We were the last ones standin' there when nothin' came out
|
| Looking back now on our string of bad luck
|
| That just wasn’t our day but you know what?
|
| That one night in Las Vegas
|
| Lyin' there with you
|
| Was well worth everything that you and I went through
|
| And so it goes, our life’s been that way
|
| Puttin' out fires, takin' it day by day
|
| And look at this year, it’s been our hardest one yet
|
| Just when we thought it had gotten bad as it could get
|
| You got transferred to Denver, I stayed behind
|
| Put the house on the market 'bout went outta my mind
|
| And your dad got sick, I’ve never seen you so scared
|
| We almost didn’t make it through the year
|
| But that weekend in the mountains
|
| In a cabin all by ourselves
|
| Makin' that one memory made up for everything else
|
| Oooh me and my insecurities
|
| You and your stubborn pride
|
| If we’ve learned anything it’s there’s no winner when we fight
|
| So this mornin' in our kitchen
|
| After talkin' all night long
|
| We finally stopped tryin' to figure out
|
| Who’s right and who is wrong
|
| And when you hold me like you’re holdin' me
|
| And I kiss your tired face
|
| We know we took the long way here
|
| But wound up in a better place
|
| Baby one night in Las Vegas
|
| Or one weekend in the mountains
|
| Any moment we’re together makes up for everything else |
