A Hundred Questions in the Desert

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two soldiers walking out of uniform Found each other where the contracts form Wasn't lookin' for forever, wasn't lookin' for a sign Just a desert sun and a long highway line A hundred questions, that gross old beer Somewhere in the answers, love showed up clear [Chorus] Oh, it's just because, just because you're mine Just because you held on through the hardest times Just because you love me like the songs all say I'm singin' this one for you today Just because, just because [Verse 2] Six months in, Cinco de Mayo sky You got down on one knee, I didn't ask why A few months later, I was wearin' your name Two hearts, two stories, one steady flame We raised my girls through the highs and lows One wears the uniform, one chased her own road [Chorus] Oh, it's just because, just because you're mine Just because you held on through the hardest times Just because you love me like the songs all say I'm singin' this one for you today Just because, just because [Bridge] Now there's a little girl who lights up the room Papa walks in and she's over the moon Mac, you're her hero, you're mine too [Verse 3] First house keys, a camper on the drive Look how far we've come, look how we arrived From dusty boots to a front porch view Every dream we whispered, baby, it came true Mac, my soldier, my steady, my friend I'd do it all again, and again, and again [Chorus] Oh, it's just because, just because you're mine Just because you held on through the hardest times Just because you love me like the songs all say I'm singin' this one for you today Just because, just because [Outro] Just because it's you, Mac, only you Just because our love is true
