Remember how time used to drag
The summer couldn't get here fast enough
You made A's and B's, I was C's and D's
Your daddy hated me, 'cause you were into me
Nobody'd ever be good enough for his little girl

Had a fast car, had a hard head
Didn't give a damn what he said
I was gonna do, what I was born to do
No cold stare, no cursin', nobody, no nothin's
Gonna keep me from loving you

Looks like your daddy was the easy part
Yeah, how could we have known how hard it'd be
Just tryin' to stay in love, I thought I'd be tough
We did some growin' up
Watched some friends give up
Life's thrown it all at us but here we stand

Got a long road, mountains up ahead
Don't give a damn what the world says
I'm gonna do what I was born to do
No turnin', no runnin', nobody, no nothin's
Gonna keep me from loving you

Got a long road, mountains up ahead
I don't give a damn what the world says
I'm gonna do what I was born to do
No turnin', no runnin', nobody, no nothin's
Gonna keep me from loving you
Keep me from loving you
