Em
I know I've let you down before

Said things I wish I'd never said

You could've closed that door for good

Instead you reached your hand ahead

And somehow you still saw my worth

But I'll spend forever earnin' today

So if these college towns pull us apart
D
I'll still carry you deep inside my heart

One call, one drive, one weekend at a time

Love ain't measured by county lines

Maybe some nights we'll both feel weak

I'm still gonna choose you every week
