In the middle of this open road
Old Chevy up in smoke
My life was burning to the ground
Pulled up in her daddy's car
Looking like a work of art
Said get inside before I change my mind
Drove for a million miles
Stop to rest every once in a while
Just two young lovers on the run
She pulled me from the wreckage with all my imperfections if you ask me what I need I say lord
I need her to breathe
Put the air back in my lungs
There's a darkness in my eyes
Needs the morning sun
I need her to move
Take me to the edge
Cause My life is standing still
If you can raise the dead
Finally landed in Tennessee
Where I got down on one knee
Now shes walking down the isle
Looked in my nervous eyes
Said hurry before I change my mind
So I read these simple lines
You pulled me from the wreckage with all my imperfections if you ask me what I need I say baby
I need you to breathe
Put the air back in my lungs
There's a darkness in my eyes
Need the morning sun
I need you to move
Take me to the edge
Cause My life is standing still
If you can raise the dead
That night we hit the open road
Still dressed In our wedding clothes
Ive never felt so happy in my life
Next thing the sound of broken glass
I woke up lying in the grass
There lying next to me is my new perfect bride
And I looked to the sky
I said I need her to breathe
Put the air back in her lungs
There's a darkness in her eyes
Need the morning sun
I need her to move
This can't be the end
Cause My life is standing still
You can raise the dead
Oh breathe oh I need you to breathe baby breathe baby breathe
I need her to move
Take me to the edge
Cause My life is standing still
If you can raise the dead
In the middle of this open road passed a Chevy up in smoke and I that god your still by my side.
