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 and 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 nothing

Was gonna keep me from loving you



Looks like your daddy was the easy part

How could we have known how hard it'd be

Just tryin' to stay in love, I thought I knew 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'

Is gonna keep me from loving you



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'

Is gonna keep me from loving you

Keep me from loving you, baby
