[Verse 1]
When I was a baby
Lyin' in my bed
My mama told me
Stories in her head
Sometimes they were happy
Sometimes they were sad
I'd keep 'em forever
Some of the best days that I had

[Verse 2]
She told me 'bout men
Waited all their life
And got 'em a boatload
But never got 'em a wife
She told me 'bout women
Just born to be true
But found 'em a man that
Found 'em other women to do

[Pre-Chorus]
My mama said
To live 'til I was dead
Well, you gave life to livin'
The life that lies ahead
[Chorus]
We're on our way to forever
We're on our way to for good
We're on our way to a lifetime
Like we knew we could
We're right in the middle
Ain't young, ain't old
But we're tellin' the greatest
Love story ever told

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Mama said there's a reason
They call 'em fairy tales
Only people like Jonah
Wind up livin' in whales
But she said I was special
And if I never gave in
I'd find me a girl and
My fairy tale would begin

[Pre-Chorus]
My mama tried
To live until she died
And even though she never met you
She'd be happy you're my bride, yeah
[Chorus]
We're on our way to forever
We're on our way to for good
We're on our way to a lifetime
Like we knew we could
We're right in the middle
Ain't young, ain't old
But we're tellin' the greatest
Love story ever told
Yeah, we're tellin' the greatest
Love story ever told
We're tellin' the greatest
Love story ever told
