Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Back in oh-nine in that small-town hall Fourteen years old, heart too tall She was thirteen, brown eyes set Said, “Nice to meet you, I’m Ivette” (oh yeah) Six months felt like a first forever Hand-me-down truck, we rode together Then life pulled hard, we lost that thread Her name stayed stuck inside my head [Chorus] Now it’s you and me on an ol’ dirt road From kids in love to a full-house home Took a long way ‘round, but the good Lord knows He was drawin’ lines we couldn’t see From that teenage kiss I can’t forget To sayin’ “I do” with my Ivette Every mile, every wrong, every right we get Led me back to you, Ivette [Verse 2] Heard the news, you had a boy so young Sixteen years and the hard stuff comes Little Danddy with your same smile I prayed you’d both be safe a while Years rolled on like a two-lane fade Different dreams, different roads we paved Then twenty-twenty-two lit up my phone “Hey, how you been?” and I drove back home [Chorus] Now it’s you and me on an ol’ dirt road From kids in love to a full-house home Took a long way ‘round, but the good Lord knows He was drawin’ lines we couldn’t see From that teenage kiss I can’t forget To sayin’ “I do” with my Ivette Every mile, every wrong, every right we get Led me back to you, Ivette [Bridge] Eleven-eleven, twenty-twenty-three You walked that aisle straight to me Ring on your hand, tears in my eyes Oliver laughin’, Henry by my side Danddy smilin’ in the front-row light Three little boys, one big life [Chorus] Now it’s you and me on this crowded couch Diapers, toys, little feet too loud Took the long way home, but I’m thankful now For every turn that brought us here From that teenage kiss I can’t forget To sayin’ “I do” with my Ivette Every mile, every wrong, every right we get Led me back to you, Ivette Yeah, every mile, every wrong, every right we get Led me back to you, Ivette

country, Warm modern country ballad with male vocals, gentle acoustic picking and soft pedal steel. First verse intimate and low-key, brushed kit and subtle bass easing in. Chorus opens wider with rich harmonies, organ pad, and a sturdy mid‑tempo groove. Second verse adds fiddle swells and a small dynamic lift, then a short, tender breakdown before a final big chorus and ring‑out.
