Underneath the Drive-In Stars

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some things are built to last forever Through every storm and sunny day A love that started young and tender Still burning bright along the way Two hearts that chose each other early And never let that promise fade [Chorus] Here's to the ones who show us how To keep a flame alive somehow Through every year, through every season Devotion doesn't need a reason A legacy of love so true The world is better watching you [Verse 2] Nineteen seventy-six, a summer evening Two kids of fifteen, nervous and alive A drive-in movie, Smokey and the Bandit Three small words lit up that Wichita night She said I love you underneath the stars Mama waiting up, wondering where they are [Chorus] Here's to the ones who show us how To keep a flame alive somehow Through every year, through every season Devotion doesn't need a reason A legacy of love so true The world is better watching you [Bridge] Fifty years of laughter, fifty years of grace Forrest and Willie, nothing could replace The way you held on tighter When the world said let it go [Verse 3] You built a family on that foundation A friendship deeper than most ever know Dear friends who show what real commitment looks like A living proof that love just keeps on growing Forrest and Willie, side by side forever The rest is history, and what a story told [Chorus] Here's to the ones who show us how To keep a flame alive somehow Through every year, through every season Devotion doesn't need a reason A legacy of love so true The world is better watching you [Outro] Family forever, that's the truth you've shown Forrest and Willie, love has found its home
