lyrics

How did we end up together
We’re such an unlikely pair
Through the good times and the bad times
Love has always been there
Though we may have had our ups and downs
No one said life would be fair
How did we end up together
We’re such an unlikely pair

A city girl and a country boy, both trying to do our best
We come from different places, but our love is surely blessed
I have leather boots and a cowboy hat, but pretty lace is what you wear
How did we end up together, we’re such an unlikely pair

Now I may not be a rich man, I can’t buy you diamond rings
But my heart is like a child’s, it delights in simple things
And the good Lord must be watching, I know he can take us there
How did we end up together, we’re such an unlikely pair

When our time on Earth is over, and the good Lord calls us home
You’ll be there right beside me, so we’ll never be alone
On the marker of our resting place, It will be written there
That we ended up together, as such an unlikely pair
Yeah we ended up together, as such an unlikely pair
