Love Land Lyrics - Waking Up Laughing - Martina Mcbride

Wasn't wearin' a wedding dress in a Vegas wedding chapel 

They were herding us in and out of there like we were cattle 

Not exactly the fairy tale that I had planned 

But mama said, Aren't you supposed to get married, girl 

Before you bring a baby in this world 

And what could I say but, Yes, ma'am 

And I called her from that chapel in Love Land 

I said I really love this man 

Love Land 

Seemed like a lifetime driving from Vegas to Oklahoma 

If you're allowed a number of mistakes in life maybe I've filled my quota 

They called it a reception saying we did the right thing 

And they smiled their broken smiles 

Said, Who needs to walk down the aisle? 

And I showed off my wedding ring 

And we walked away hand in hand to Love Land 

Oh, how I love this man 

Love Land 

Amazing all the progress we've made since the days of Thomas Edison 

Still only God gives life in spite of modern medicine 

Doctor's voices whispered, We did all that we could do 

But your baby wasn't strong enough 

To make it the whole nine months 

And as my world broke in two 

He said, I'll carry you through to Love Land 

For the longest time I blamed myself 

Thought I was paying for my mistakes but we tried again 

Now we're watchin' him blow three candles out 

He's daddy's little man 

And only God could have planned the steps I've taken 

That led me to where I am 

Love Land 

Anywhere you hold my hand 

Is Love Land
