we were alright

we hit the road

i said

tell me where you're wanting to be

and that's where we're gonna go

if it takes my life

i looked over at you

had a smile on my face

and i noticed you were smiling too

girl

you were smiling too

and for the first time in a long time

we were alright

turned the radio on

and heard 'luckenbach

texas'

and you said it was your favorite song

girl

you started singing along

crossed state lines

i couldn't keep my eyes open

so

i stopped to see an old friend of mine

to get some sleep for a while

for the first time in a long time

we were alright

woke by the phone

heard your voice say i should come get my things

'cause you were gonna be home

and you wanted them gone

like a brick

it hit me

everything i thought that happened that night

well

it was only a dream

so i went back to sleep

what else could i do?

tried to find my way back into that dream

so i could be close to you

so i could be close to you

'cause for the first time in a long time

we were alright

oh

for the first time in a long time

we were alright
