Love Won

(album: Waylon & Willie II - 2018)

I can only tell the truth, yeah

First time that we locked eyes
Stomach felt like it had knots tied
I cannot lie, I wanted to try
But I knew right then it was not the time
So I sat back and played my position
And I prayed that you made your decision
And I know that I was an asshole
But I felt all along that you ain't really with it
Love the way that you talk to me
When you talk to me like my best friend
When you provide me with security
And a future that we can invest in
Hate the city, cost too much money
Asking you to move out to the country
White picket fence with a nice little crib
Play this guitar we can raise these kids
Ain't no sunset on this boulevard
So come and go as you please
And forgive me 'cause I know it seems
That these roads here were paved to broken dream
Ain't no Las Vegas lights
Ain't no California coast
And I've seen a lot of both
But this shit is in my soul, and so are you

Love won, I give you my gun
I'm riding with you baby, in it for the long run
Love won, I give you my gun
I'm living like a dirty bomb strapped to the sun
Love won, I give you my gun
I'm riding with you baby, in it for the long run
Love won, I give you my gun
I'm living like a dirty bomb strapped to the sun

Baby look at that big picture
No more skipping through all them bad scenes
Seeing nightmares only make it sweeter
When you living inside them wild dreams
Never live inside someone else's mean
We gone fly high even if we down
So stick around I'ma spend my life
Right by your side polishing your crown
Stand up and adjust it, girl
I'm riding with you, better trust it
Leave them haters disgusted
They can't catch up 'cause we mustard
And we suffered long enough in the gutter
We both deserve what we built here
We instill fear 'cause our fairy tale
Is so real with no end near
Been here for over 10 years
You're no stranger to the danger of my life
Gripped the banger like you hold my heart
Then squeeze tight, never let it slip
Big city lights, slow country pace
Leather and lace, outlaws and angels
We wove a web of love and trust
Stay wrapped up 'cause I'm so tangled

Love won, I give you my gun
I'm riding with you baby, in it for the long run
Love won, I give you my gun
I'm living like a dirty bomb strapped to the sun
Love won, I give you my gun
I'm riding with you baby, in it for the long run
Love won, I give you my gun
I'm living like a dirty bomb strapped to the sun

Love won, I give you my gun
I'm riding with you baby, in it for the long run
Love won, I give you my gun
I'm living like a dirty bomb strapped to the sun
Love won, I give you my gun
I'm riding with you baby, in it for the long run
Love won, I give you my gun
I'm living like a dirty bomb strapped to the sun
