[Blake]

This is our love story

Hey, baby I just asked your daddy
If I could take your hand
He said, "Boy, over my dead body"
Guess I ain’t his kind of man

[Miranda]

But I love you and you love me
So, baby I got to plan
We'll push my truck off of Red Top Bridge
Right below the Jackson Dam

[Duet]

Hey, they'll be draggin’ the river
Catchin’ nothing but an old catfish
They'll be draggin’ the river
That'll show that son of a bitch

[Blake]

It's been raining for the last two weeks
So the water's up good and high
We'll just wait 'til it's good and late
So there aren’t nobody passin’ by

[Miranda]

I’ll call my cousin
He'll pick us up and take us to the Greyhound Bus
We'll be standin’ in front of that preacher
By the time they're lookin’ for us

[Duet]

And they'll be draggin’ the river
But they aren’t goin’ to find a thing
They'll be draggin’ the river
I'll be wearin’ me a diamond ring

[Blake]

Ah, we're going to show them

I know that it might sound crazy
Just a little bit too extreme
But to get some of your sweet lovin’
Baby, I'd do anythin’

[Duet]

Sooner or later
They'll find my letter sayin’ that we're alright
We'll be rockin’ at the Red Roof Inn
This time tomorrow night

And they'll be draggin’ the river
Saying, "Lord, what a cryin' shame"
They'll be draggin’ the river
We'll be runnin', they'll never see it comin’

They'll be draggin’ the river
They'll be draggin’ the river
But they aren’t goin’ to find a thing

[Blake]

Sorry about calling your dad a son of a bitch earlier
Hey, do you think he'll still hire me?

[Miranda]

Whoa, that thing's little
The diamond, I mean
