Verse 1, Chorus 1, and Instrumental in C — Verse 2 and Chorus 2 in D
Verse 1. You’re stuck in a prison but you can’t see the bars,
You think love’s the way that you look, and your cars,
The money you make, and your swimmin’ pool homes in Hawaii;
You’re stuck in a prison but you’re talkin’ ‘bout me,
How I can’t pay the rent, and the way I can’t see,
How love really looks ‘cause I need her so much and I’m strugglin’.
Chorus 1. Well I love you anyway, sometimes I don’t know what to say,
Cause for me what makes love runs a little deeper,
I love you anyway, and with my girl on our wedding day,
I’ll be the richest man this world has ever seen.
Instrumental: Steel guitar feature around Chorus melody, also mandolin, banjo, acoustic
guitar, and fiddle — for duration of Chorus.
Verse 2. I’m lucky in love and I don’t own a thing,
I’m happy with me, who I am, how I sing,
My friends, how I look, what I wear, and the girl who’s beside me;
I’m lucky in love and for me that’s enough,
And I know lots of things in our life will be tough,
With her by my side we can handle it all — everything.
Chorus 2. I love you anyway, sometimes I don’t know what to say,
Cause for me what makes love runs a little deeper,
I love you anyway, and with my girl on our wedding day,
I’ll be the richest man this world has ever seen,
I love you anyway, and with my girl on our wedding day,
I’ll be the richest man this world has ever seen,
I love you anyway.
