Best Thing I Ever Did

Intro

Oh oh

Missouri rain

Iowa sun

Ten years gone

Now the life's begun

Verse 1

Ticket said the wrong state

Gray bus pulled in late

Missouri air felt heavy and strange

But a plastic factory sparked the change

Walking floors at Buckhorn making bins

Where the sweetest chapter finally begins

Pre-Chorus

Work day turned into long nights

Two hearts under warehouse lights

Then a forced move pulled us apart

Iowa claimed back half of my heart

Chorus

Best thing I ever did was drive

Feeling so lucky just to be alive

I took the boy who carries your name

Left the doubters and the shadows and the shame

From the factory floor to the open road

Lighter than feathers and the heavy load

Cassie loves her Jeff until the end

My soulmate my husband my best friend

Verse 2

People said I should just stay

Told me don't throw it all away

They didn't see the man you've become

Or how you claim our little boy as your son

The distance was a knife in my chest

Now being with you is being truly blessed

Pre-Chorus

Harley engine hums beneath the seat

Rhythm of the blacktop and the heat

Wind in my hair and your back to hold

Our story is the finest ever told

Chorus

Best thing I ever did was drive

Feeling so lucky just to be alive

I took the boy who carries your name

Left the doubters and the shadows and the shame

From the factory floor to the open road

Lighter than feathers and the heavy load

Cassie loves her Jeff until the end

My soulmate my husband my best friend

Bridge

Ten years later and the water is blue

Jet skis jumping for a family of three

You call me Monkey and it rings so true

Living the dream out here wild and free

Built a kingdom from a mix-up on a bus

Look at the beautiful life we call us

Chorus

Best thing I ever did was drive

Feeling so lucky just to be alive

I took the boy who carries your name

Left the doubters and the shadows and the shame

From the factory floor to the open road

Lighter than feathers and the heavy load

Cassie loves her Jeff until the end

My soulmate my husband my best friend

Post-Chorus

Monkey loves you Jeff

Yeah we made it

Oh oh Iowa strong

Love you Jeff with all my heart

Love you forever

Cassie loves you Jeff

Yeah yeah
