Wasn't wearin' a wedding dress in a Vegas wedding chapel They were herding us in and out of there like we were cattle Not exactly the fairy tale that I had planned But mama said, “ Aren't you supposed to get married, girl Before you bring a baby in this world” And what could I say but, “ Yes, ma'am” And I called her from that chapel in Love LandI said I really love this man Love LandSeemed like a lifetime driving from Vegas to Oklahoma If you're allowed a number of mistakes in life maybe I've filled my quota They called it a reception saying we did the right thing And they smiled their broken smiles Said, “Who needs to walk down the aisle?” And I showed off my wedding ring And we walked away hand in hand to Love LandOh, how I love this man Love LandAmazing all the progress we've made since the days of Thomas Edison Still only God gives life in spite of modern medicine Doctor's voices whispered, “ We did all that we could do But your baby wasn't strong enough To make it the whole nine months” And as my world broke in two He said, “ I'll carry you through to Love Land” For the longest time I blamed myself Thought I was paying for my mistakes but we tried again Now we're watchin' him blow three candles out He's daddy's little man And only God could have planned the steps I've taken That led me to where I amLove Land Anywhere you hold my hand Is Love Land
