[Verse 1] I met you when I was just 17 See, people don't believe in love at first sight But baby, I fell in love the very moment I saw you Two years later, we were married with our second baby on her way [Chorus] We were both Kansas City born and raised When I joined the Army and we went away Neither one of us liked the big town lights Just simple country hearts in the clear night skies It's always been you and I Standing Side by Side..... [Verse 2] Now we're building a life so far from home With a hand to hold, I'm never alone Through every shift and every base I still see that 17-year-old face [Chorus] We were both Kansas City born and raised When I joined the Army and we went away Neither one of us liked the big town lights Just simple country hearts in the clear night skies It's always been you and I Standing Side by Side..... [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] People said we were moving too fast Two young kids, how could it last? But every milestone, every trial Is worth it just to see you smile [Chorus] We were both Kansas City born and raised When I joined the Army and we went away Neither one of us liked the big town lights Just simple country hearts in the clear night skies It's always been you and I Standing Side by Side..... [Outro] Yeah, Kansas City born and raised... Look at us now, baby. Just 17... [Fade Out] [END], [END], [END]...
