We got the radio up, got the tailgate down
Peacherman waiting at the church downtown
My baby’s riding shotgun, dressed in white
Got a ring, got a suit, we gonna do it up right
Getting in it for the long haul
Yeah, getting in it for the long haul
With some hard work, a little bit of faith
And a whole lot of luck we can have it all
And make it through the long haul
Got everything we own in the back of that truck
Pocketful of dreams and a full tank of love
Two months down on a little farmhouse
It may not look like a whole lot now
Getting in it for the long haul
Going down the road that never ends
We gettin’ in it for the long haul
All day, every day and back again
With some hard work, a little bit of faith
And a whole lot of luck we can have it all
And make it through the long haul
Yeah, my daddy taught me like his daddy did him
Life is like a river that we all gotta swim
Good Lord willing and the creek don’t rise
Be a little something for you on the other side
We getting in it for the long haul
Going down the road that never ends
Getting in it for the long haul
All day, every day and back again
Yeah, we in it for the long haul
Going down the road that never ends
Hey, we in it for the long
All day, every day and back again
Yeah we in it for the long
Going down the road that never ends
All day, every day and back again
Long
Going down the road that never ends
All day, every day and back again
