Orders I Never Wanted

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sometimes life sends you where you didn't plan to go A set of orders, a Texas wind you didn't know A dial-up tone, a flickering screen The start of something no one could foresee I logged on looking for a friend Found the beginning that would never end [Chorus] Here's to thirty years of holding on Every city, every road, every dawn Juanita, you're the home I've always known Wherever we go, I'm never alone [Verse 2] Two kids raised strong by a love we built from scratch Both knew what it meant when a mama held the match From San Antonio nights to Chicago snow Pittsburgh steel couldn't stop our flow We learned from women who did it on their own Then made a life bigger than we'd ever known [Chorus] Here's to thirty years of holding on Every city, every road, every dawn Juanita, you're the home I've always known Wherever we go, I'm never alone [Bridge] The mountains started whispering our name Tacoma rain felt like a brand new flame And every move just proves it more You're what I never knew I was searching for [Verse 3] I didn't want those orders, I had a different plan But God knew I needed you to take me by the hand From AOL to forever, what a ride it's been And darling I would do it all again The map keeps changing but one thing stays true Every road I've taken led me straight to you [Chorus] Here's to thirty years of holding on Every city, every road, every dawn Juanita, you're the home I've always known Wherever we go, I'm never alone [Outro] So pack a bag, baby, let the next wind blow Juanita, I can't wait to see where we go
