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
