So snuggle up to me baby, turn out the lights
I spent all my time hot on your trail
As we get a little closer to our rocking chairs
As time rolls by one thing's still clear to see
Like the heaven I see lookin' in your eyes
Could've sailed across the deep blue sea
Yeah, it's been a few years but I remember it well
Yeah, yeah
Could've sailed across the deep blue sea
You could've run to the mountains
I was a rowdy no-gooder, you were hotter than hell
I think back on the good life that we have shared
Than lying in your arms, holdin' you tight
As sure as tomorrow has a rising sun
So, I begged and I pleaded something I'd never done
They told me I was trash and I was born to lose
And how our love has grown down through the years
The sweetest things in life take you by surprise
I made up my mind not to let you get away from me
You could've run to the mountains
That is until you came around
Though you weren't sure how an outlaw's love could be
I couldn't let you get away from me
There was no mistake, honey, you were the one
There's nowhere on this earth I'd rather be tonight
I'd have been a fool to let you get away from me
You could've run to the mountains
But one thing's for sure
But that didn't faze me, I was gonna have you
You would never get away from me
I knew from the start
Well, your mama and your daddy, they didn't approve
Could've sailed across the deep blue sea
