Verse 1)
Back in that small town, by the old oak tree,
You and me laughing, just as wild and free.
Summer nights shining, fireflies in the breeze,
You stole my heart, girl, with your sweet, wild ease.
(Verse 2)
We'd sneak off to the creek, where the moonlight would sway,
I kissed you 'neath the stars, felt that love on display.
You were my sunshine, in your faded denim dress,
I’d do anything, darlin’, just to keep you blessed.
(Chorus)
I’d take a bullet, I’d stand right in the way,
For your love, girl, I’d fight come what may.
In this wild country, you’re my heart’s own truth,
Forever and always, I’m bulletproof for you.
(Verse 3)
Then came that night, when trouble found its stride,
Shadows in the alley, our love be the guide.
You called my name, I felt that rush of fright,
I couldn’t let you go, so I held you tight.
(Verse 4)
Felt the heat of the moment, like a thunderstorm,
With a heart full of love, I was ready to warn.
I took that hit for you, in a fight I didn’t seek,
As the world froze in time, all I felt was your heartbeat.
(Chorus)
I’d take a bullet, I’d stand right in the way,
For your love, girl, I’d fight come what may.
In this wild country, you’re my heart’s own truth,
Forever and always, I’m bulletproof for you.
(Bridge)
Now I’m healing slow, but my heart’s still the same,
Every scar tells a story, just like your name.
We’re stronger together, like the roots of a tree,
In this life and the next, it’s just you and me.
(Chorus)
I’d take a bullet, I’d stand right in the way,
For your love, girl, I’d fight come what may.
In this wild country, you’re my heart’s own truth,
Forever and always, I’m bulletproof for you.
(Outro)
So here’s to the nights, and the love that we share,
To the fireflies dancing, and the dreams in the air.
Through the highs and the lows, our bond shines through,
In this wild, wild world, I’m bulletproof for you.
