Oceanside California 1989
D G D
I was sittin' in my 86 Ford Thunderbird by the beach when you caught my eye
C G D
You walked by smiled and said "hey" and I said "hi"
C G D
I adjusted that side view mirror watched you walk for a while
D G D
Backed up to leave saw you smile and flip your hair back
D G D
Like Rover I rolled over and played it cool and laid back
C G D
Well I got your number and I gave you mine
C G A
I gotta roll on home to Las Pulgas, but I'll call you in a little while
[Chorus]
C G D
Well baby that's how I met you and how you met me
C G D
Yeah I met you, you met me, and baby we met we.
C G D

Eight months later nice proposal all prepared

Gonna ask you on the San Clemente Pier but I got scared
C G D
Got on a knee said "marry me" you said "yes", I said "thanks"
C G A
I was thanking God I didn't drop the ring through the gap in the planks
[Chorus 2]
C G D
Well baby I'll marry you and you'll marry me

[Verse 4]
D G D
Kids are all grown and got lives of their own
D G D
Left us sitting around this big house all alone.
C G D
Sitting on the front porch rocking out sipping sweet tea
C G D
Gotta admit it baby life's been good to you and me.
[Chorus 4]
C G D
Well baby I still got you and you still got me
C G D
I still got you, you still got me and baby we got we
C G D
Wouldn't mind a few grandbabies bouncing on our knees
