Love Land

[Verse] Wasn't wearing a wedding dress in a Vegas wedding chapel They were herding us in and out of there like we were cattle Not exactly the fairy tale that I had planned But mama said aren't you supposed to get married girl Before you bring a baby in this world And what could I say but yes ma'am And I called her from that chapel in Love Land I said I really love this man, Love Land Seemed like a lifetime driving from Vegas to Oklahoma If you're allowed a number of mistakes in life Maybe I've filled my quota They called it a reception saying we did the right thing And they smiled their broken smiles Said who needs to walk down the aisle And I showed off my wedding ring And we walked away hand in hand to Love Land Oh how I love this man, Love Land Amazing all the progress we've made since the days of Thomas Edison Still only God gives life in spite of modern medicine Doctor's voices whispered we did all that we could do But your baby wasn't strong enough To make it the whole nine months And as my world broke in two He said I'll carry you through to Love Land For the longest time I blamed myself Thought I was paying for my mistakes But we tried again Now we're watching him blow three candles out He's daddy's little man And only God could have planned The steps I've taken That led me to where I am, Love Land Anywhere you hold my hand Is Love Land
