Well the background was New York City
I met you at a hotel bar
We walked around
'Til the sun went down
As the skyline faded to stars
You asked me 'bout my future plans
And said they all sounded good
And that in New Orleans
A woman told you things
To confirm you and I were true
But it don't matter where we are, no
Long as I got you
To come on home to
Together we can go far, well
You asked me 'bout Arizona
How the cactus helped me see
There a medicine man
Put it in my hand
Just to better understand me
Even though I saw my future
I hadn't yet lost the fear
And it didn't come clear
Until I saw you, dear
Now I can plan our tree right here
'Cause it don't matter where we are, no
Long as I got you
To come on home to
Together we can go far
And it don't matter where we are, no
Long as I got you
To come on home to
Together we can go far, well
There's a plot of land in Mississippi
That my grandpa left for me
With a beat up truck
To help me pick up
The land for our family
And as our children grow
Strong will be our sons
Yeah, our daughters will shine
With peace of mind
God bless them, everyone
'Cause it don't matter where we are, no
Long as I got you
To come on home to
Together we can go far
And it don't matter who they are, no
Long as we got you
To come on home to
Together we can go far, hey
