Martina Mcbride Love Land Lyrics

Love Land Lyrics

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, '€œAren't you supposed to get married, girl

Before you bring a baby in this world'€?

And what could I say but, '€œYes, 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, '€œWho 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, '€œWe 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, '€œI'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
