Martina McBride - Love Land lyrics
[Martina McBride - Love Land lyrics]
Wasn't wearing a wedding dress in
A Vegas wedding chapel
They were herding us in and out
Of there like we were cattle
Not exactly the fairy tale that I had planned
But mama said aren't you supposed
To get married girl
Before you bring a baby in this world
And what could I say but yes ma'am
And I called her from that
Chapel in Love Land
I said I really love this man, Love Land
Seemed like a lifetime driving
From Vegas to Oklahoma
If you're allowed a number
Of mistakes in life
Maybe I've filled my quota
They called it a reception saying
We did the right thing
And they smiled their broken smiles
Said who needs to walk down the aisle
And I showed off my wedding ring
And we walked away hand in hand to Love Land
Oh how I love this man, Love Land
Amazing all the progress we've made since
The days of Thomas Edison
Still only God gives life in
Spite of modern medicine
Doctor's voices whispered we did all
That we could do
But, your baby wasn't strong enough
To make it the whole nine months
And as my world broke in two
He said I'll carry you through to Love Land
For the longest time I blamed myself
Thought I was paying for my mistakes
But we tried again
Now we're watching him blow three candles out
He's daddy's little man
And only God could have planned
The steps I've taken
That led me to where I am, Love Land
Anywhere you hold my hand is Love Land
A Vegas wedding chapel
They were herding us in and out
Of there like we were cattle
Not exactly the fairy tale that I had planned
But mama said aren't you supposed
To get married girl
Before you bring a baby in this world
And what could I say but yes ma'am
And I called her from that
Chapel in Love Land
I said I really love this man, Love Land
Seemed like a lifetime driving
From Vegas to Oklahoma
If you're allowed a number
Of mistakes in life
Maybe I've filled my quota
They called it a reception saying
We did the right thing
And they smiled their broken smiles
Said who needs to walk down the aisle
And I showed off my wedding ring
And we walked away hand in hand to Love Land
Oh how I love this man, Love Land
Amazing all the progress we've made since
The days of Thomas Edison
Still only God gives life in
Spite of modern medicine
Doctor's voices whispered we did all
That we could do
But, your baby wasn't strong enough
To make it the whole nine months
And as my world broke in two
He said I'll carry you through to Love Land
For the longest time I blamed myself
Thought I was paying for my mistakes
But we tried again
Now we're watching him blow three candles out
He's daddy's little man
And only God could have planned
The steps I've taken
That led me to where I am, Love Land
Anywhere you hold my hand is Love Land
