Lights Beyond the Runway

(hummmmm) Rain was tapping on the windowpane

Highway hum was playing our

refrain

Twenty dollars and a plastic ring In room fourteen we had everything

Cheap champagne in a plastic cup

Cracked the window just to watch the semi-trucks

We didn't have a crowd to cheer us on

Just a flickering sign till the dawn We didn't need a church

to make it holy

We didn't need the gold or grand designs Just a roadside room

and you

holding me slowly

Underneath the glowing roadside signs

(oh yeah)

Now thirty years have flown right on by

Got our grown-up kids and a clear blue sky

Showing them the faded photograph

In this same old room we stop and laugh

We brought real champagne to toast the night

Underneath that same old flickering light

They look at us and see the lasting grace

Of the day we started in this place We didn't need a

church to make it holy

We didn't need the gold or grand designs Just a roadside room

and you

holding me slowly

Underneath the glowing roadside signs

(oh yeah)

Still got you, still got room fourteen

Best wedding that I've ever seen (mmmmm)
