we’ll call this one the story of when we first met
we’ll tell it to our brothers and we’ll tell it to our friends
we’ll call this one a story of no regrets
we’ll tell it to our mothers and we’ll tell it til the end
we’ll start with how we met in that old whiskey bar
you were playing open mic with an old guitar
it was raining it was cold I was a little drunk
we stayed up all night talking, young and having fun
you'd tell stories of your travels and I'd talk of my hometown
you'd say you like my blue eyes and I'd say I like yours brown
I'd learn your favourite food and you'd learn my favourite song
I'd realize I'd been falling for your smile all along
We'd meet each others families and we'd know each others friends
you'd say that you want kids, and three would be best
We'd learn those little weird things that you only come to know
when you spend a summer traveling, together on the road
then we’d watch each other age and we’d watch each other grow remember how we met so many years ago
my blonde hair goes grey, there’ll be lines on my face
but you’ll lie to me and say I haven’t aged a day
Chorus
we’ll call this one the story of when we first met
we’ll tell it to our children and we’ll tell it to our friends
we’ll start with how we met in that old whiskey bar
you were playing open mic with an old guitar
