Every sauce on the table
’Cause I never knew what you liked
You laughed at the mess we were making
Ketchup stains and late-night time
Hash browns I swore that I hated
Till i stole the ones off your plate
That was us in a nutshell
Argue
Then call it fate
From every sauce at McDonalds
To “will you be mine” in a booth at 2
From small-town roads to Louisiana
Every mile just led me back to you
We turned cheap coffee into birthdays
Turned our wild hearts into two
From every sauce on the table
I was always choosing you
Ink on your arm for your birthday
You said
“this one’s for the year we survived”
Trace every line like a roadmap
Of every way we stayed alive
We packed up the car for the bayou
Chasing heat
Chasing something new
Didn’t know that state line
Was the start of me and you
From every sauce at McDonalds
To “will you be mine” in a booth at 2
From small-town roads to Louisiana
Every mile just led me back to you
We turned cheap coffee into birthdays
Turned our wild hearts into two
From every sauce on the table
I was always choosing you
Then a child brought light to our life
Tiny hands
Middle-of-the-night cries
Suddenly all of our stories
Were looking back at us in their eyes (oh)
From every yes at Dennys
To a high chair tucked in the booth
From small-town roads to Louisiana
To the day our little one came through
We turned tired eyes into laughter
Turned an empty place into a room
From every sauce on the table
I was always choosing you
I am still choosing you
