We grew up where the river meets the sea
And the birds sing a southern song
I had some notion you would marry me
Give my sentimental moment
It's in my blood,
just waiting too long Don't let anybody tell you
It meant nothing in the long run
It meant nothing in the long run
It meant nothing, nothing
It meant nothing in the long run
It meant nothing, nothing
I found family and faith in a bar
We'd all tell each other stories
Won't forget their names,
won't forget their scars
We were naked in a wild world
Burning years like leaves
I hope, no, I believe
It meant something in the long run
It meant something, something
It meant something in the long run
We made it something out of nothing at all
We made something in the long run
We made something, something, I know
We made something in the long run
We meant something,
something We meant something in the long run
I meant something to some
