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 LandI said 
I really love this man
Love LandSeemed 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 LandOh, how 
I love this man
Love LandAmazing 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 amLove Land
Anywhere you hold my hand
Is Love Land
