Verse:
Your daddy owned half of this whole town
Had his name scattered all around
Even down at the top of that hole
Where my daddy shoveled coal
Separated by tracks and a string of pearls
Same small town but two different worlds
Who in their wildest dreams
Would have imagined you and me
Chorus:
Well sometimes when I stop and think about it
I can't believe that it's true
I don't know how fate could have allowed it
I guess just somehow it broke the rules
And destiny must have kicked into action
The stars all lined up and the moon started laughing
I can't explain why two people are just meant to be
But thank God for you and me
Verse:
It was the craziest thing this town's ever seen
A coal miner's son and the homecoming queen
In between the preacher and your dad
Everybody said we'd never last
But when I look back on where we are
Most of our friends never made it this far
I just have to kneel down and look up
And send one more up for us
Chorus:
Well sometimes when I stop and think about it
I can't believe that it's true
I don't know how fate could have allowed it
I guess just somehow it broke the rules
And destiny must have kicked into action
The stars all lined up and the moon started laughing
I can't explain why two people are just meant to be
But thank God for you and me
Repeat Chorus:
Well sometimes when I stop and think about it
I can't believe that it's true
I don't know how fate could have allowed it
I guess just somehow it broke the rules
And destiny must have kicked into action
The stars all lined up and the moon started laughing
I can't explain why two people are just meant to be
But thank God for you and me
Thank God for you and me
Thank God for you and me
