Love Land

Wasn't wearing 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 Land
 I said, "I really love this man"

 Seemed 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 Land
 Oh, how I love this man
 Love Land

 Amazing 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 am
 Love Land
 Anywhere you hold my hand
 Is Love Land
