Every Mile Was Worth It

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some things are worth the wait Worth every mile and every state Two strangers in a training room Didn't know what was coming soon A glance across the east coast rain Nothing would ever be the same [Chorus] Here's to the long roads and the late-night calls The airport gates and the hotel halls We built this love from miles apart City to city, heart to heart And I'd do it all again, my love Every single mile was worth every minute of [Verse 2] From Jersey nights to Vegas lights We said "I do" and held on tight Reno packed up in the rearview glass Headed south through the mountain pass Nick, those blue eyes caught the Texas sun And I knew we'd finally found the one [Chorus] Here's to the long roads and the late-night calls The airport gates and the hotel halls We built this love from miles apart City to city, heart to heart And I'd do it all again, my love Every single mile was worth every minute of [Bridge] Ten years married, twenty years deep Only sorry we didn't take the leap But every detour led us right To this porch, to this land, to this life tonight [Verse 3] Now there's acreage underneath our boots Texas dirt and country roots Animals out past the gate Nick, we finally didn't have to wait There's a plaque above where we lay our heads And I hold those words like the vows we said I can't promise I'll be here for the rest of your life But I'll love you for the rest of mine [Chorus] Here's to the long roads and the late-night calls The airport gates and the hotel halls We built this love from miles apart City to city, heart to heart And I'd do it all again, my love Every single mile was worth every minute of [Outro] So here's to us, Nick, and that big warm smile When I promise, I mean it every mile My love, my love — we're finally home And these are the days worth waiting for
