Verse 1
i met her at Fry’s baggin’ groceries after school
Phoenix desert sky turnin’ red white and blue
She was sixteen, band books in her hand
I was seventeen, runnin’ wild as I can
She had the license and the old car keys
I had wheels but no license to drive
April seventh nineteen eighty-five
She drove me to the drive-in for our first night
Pre-Chorus
She was “this one time at band camp,” pure and clean
I was long hair, loud guitars, livin’ fast and mean
⸻
Chorus
She took a wild heart runnin’ nowhere fast
Turned my broken road into a life that lasts
From a Jack-in-the-Box promise under neon lights
To a backyard wedding in eighty-six
Across a thousand roads and a million miles
Through every storm and every smile
No matter where this old world’s carried our lives
We end every day with three kisses every night
⸻
Verse 2
She never smoked, never drank a drop
While I ran with the crowd that never would stop
I told her my secrets, the darkest kind
Every mistake that haunted my mind
But she never judged what I’d been through
Just said “I believe in the man in you”
And somehow that girl from Phoenix
Turned my whole world around
⸻
Chorus
She took a wild heart runnin’ nowhere fast
Turned my broken road into a life that lasts
From a Jack-in-the-Box promise under neon lights
To a backyard wedding in eighty-six
Across a thousand roads and a million miles
Through every storm and every smile
No matter where this old world’s carried our lives
We end every day with three kisses every night
⸻
Verse 3
Heather, TJ and Travis filled our home
Three little reasons we kept pushin’ on
She was the mama every kid deserves
Strong and patient with a heart that serves
Arizona dust to Iowa snow
California sun and Alabama roads
Indiana miles to Nashville lights
She followed me through every flight
⸻
Bridge
Eighteen years runnin’ that nightclub door
Now we chase the sunsets and so much more
From Phoenix nights to Hedo days
Still fallin’ for you in a thousand ways
Seven granddaughters laugh and play
And Bunny still takes my breath away
I tell her she’s beautiful every day
Just like I do every single day
⸻
Final Chorus (Big Nashville Finish)
She took a wild heart runnin’ nowhere fast
Turned my broken road into a life that lasts
From a teenage promise I barely understood
To a life together that turned out good
Through every dream and every hard goodbye
You’ve been the reason I still try
And after all these years I still thank the sky
For three kisses every night
⸻
Outro
Since nineteen eighty-five you’ve been my life
Three kisses tonight.
