From That Tailgate to Forever

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a lot that starts with young and reckless hearts Two kids at twenty barely had a clue But something sparked beneath those dealership lights A little flirting turned to something true We fell so fast like summer rain on dust Built a world on nothing more than trust [Chorus] You are my sunshine, I'm your moonlight We've been dancing through the dark and golden days From that tailgate to forever Danny, we were built to stay [Verse 2] You dug the fence posts, I sat on your truck Radio playing while the sun went down We slow danced in that shed out back for hours Our big old stereo the sweetest sound We were just kids buying up a piece of land Growing roots we didn't fully understand [Chorus] You are my sunshine, I'm your moonlight We've been dancing through the dark and golden days From that tailgate to forever Danny, we were built to stay [Bridge] You look so tough on the outside But I know your tender heart The way you laugh when morning tickle fights Pull us close before the day can start [Verse 3] You brought a daughter, she became my own Then twin boys came and made our house a home You asked me right there tangled in our sheets The simplest question made my heart complete Thirty years of ups and downs and holding on My monkey and my boo, still going strong [Chorus] You are my sunshine, I'm your moonlight We've been dancing through the dark and golden days From that tailgate to forever Danny, we were built to stay [Outro] My best friend, the love of my whole life Danny, you're the reason I believe in light
