They were two little kids not so long ago
hand in hand to school down that long dirt road
Their world was right, their hearts were true
Two best friends seeing each other through
Then one night, in the blink of an eye
Her mama's leaving changed the path of their lives

Pre chorus:
He said, you got a daddy you never see, but
Girl, you’ve got a friend in me, so..

Follow my lovin' lead
Gonna let you lean on me
Make your worries fade
Make you feel real safe
Put, your hand in mine
I’ll give you the strength you need..
Follow my lovin’ lead

She can’t wait to move away from this lonely town
and to find another place to lay roots down
He said where you’re going I wanna be
You’re all I want and you’re all I need
Never thought friendship could turn to love
?and that the future would be just the two of us

BR:?When times get hard and you need to cry
You lie awake and wonder why.. just
