Nineteen eighty-nine, eleven oh five First time I opened my eyes You were there Thirteen, got a dream, I wanted to sing That night changed everything 'cause You were there Every snapshot of this crazy life You've been faithful all these years of mi-i-ine You were there For every mile of every road Every right and wrong You were there For shattered and for beautiful Cheering me on All along, all along You were there... all along All along... You were there I met a girl when I was fifteen, I believed Someday she'd marry me Twenty-two, we said I do And You were there You called us to Tennessee We went on nothing but faith and pennies We did impossible things 'cause... You were there For every mile of every road Every right and wrong You were there For shattered and for beautiful Cheering me on All along, all along You were there... all along You were there... all along You were there... From that first breath until now And all those years in between My life is proof that You had Your hand on everything You were there For every mile of every road Every right and wrong You were there For shattered and for beautiful Cheering me on All along, all along You were there... all along You were there... all along You were there... You... all along You were there You... all along You were there
