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 |
