Left Missouri Behind

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Miles of highway rolling on State lines drawn between our hearts Every mile I drove alone Just to close the space apart And somewhere out there in the dark I knew that I was headed home [Chorus] So I left Missouri behind Traded everything I knew Found a whole new kind of life In a love that's always true Matthew, you're my steady ground The safest place I've ever found [Verse 2] Packed my whole world in a car Drove that Iowa road for you Never once have looked back far 'Cause my dreams were coming true You built a home around my name And nothing here has felt the same [Chorus] So I left Missouri behind Traded everything I knew Found a whole new kind of life In a love that's always true Matthew, you're my steady ground The safest place I've ever found [Bridge] I've smiled more than I believed In the shelter of your arms Your strength is all I'll ever need Your gentle heart, my lucky charm [Verse 3] Now we stand where two roads meet Family gathered all around Take my hand and take this ring The truest love I've ever found From distant states to one clear vow Matthew, I am yours right now [Chorus] No more Missouri miles between Just this life we're building new Here's my heart, here's everything In a love forever true You're my comfort, you're my home The only road I'll ever know [Outro] So take my hand and take my name Forever, love, we'll stay the same [Verse 2] Packed my whole world in my truck Drove that Iowa road for you Never once have looked back far 'Cause my dreams were coming true You built a home around my name And nothing here has felt the same [Chorus] So I left Missouri behind Traded everything I knew Found a whole new kind of life In a love that's always true Matthew, you're my steady ground The safest place I've ever found [Bridge] I've smiled more than I believed In the shelter of your arms Your strength is all I'll ever need Your gentle heart, my lucky charm [Verse 3] Now we stand where two roads meet Family gathered all around Take my hand and take this ring The truest love I've ever found From distant states to one clear vow Matthew, I am yours right now [Chorus] No more Missouri miles between Just this life we're building new Here's my heart, here's everything In a love forever true You're my comfort, you're my home The only road I'll ever know [Outro] So take my hand, I'll take your name Forever, love, we'll stay the same
