I grew up in a small town where everybody knew everyone
I couldn't get by with nothing back when I was young
Fell in what I thought was love when I was only seventeen
But my best friend's car in her driveway ended everything
Yeah life rolls by
We're just along for the ride
I had my angel at twenty, got married tried to make it right
But even her and her little brother couldn't stop the fights
I ended up in Nashville, lost trying to chase a dream
Idle talk and those neon lights ain't what they seemed
Yeah life rolls by
We're just along for the ride
I wasn't looking for nothing when I saw her standing there
Just a warm smile and a handshake and God took over from there
We settled down in that small town, found out what true love is
The road we took wasn't easy, it never is
As we look out on the horizon, we can't see what's around the bend
Heaven only knows where it will end
Yeah life rolls by
We're just along
We're just along
We're just along for the ride
