This song captures Chris Janson's love story with his wife, Kelly Lynn.

Done
The first time I saw you, done
Like the first dance was through, I was done

The opening line is what Janson actually said the first time he saw Kelly Lynn. He recalled to Taste of Country: "I saw her right down the street from here at Melrose Pool Hall [in Nashville]. First time, I was like, 'Done and done, marrying that girl.'"

Janson goes on to declare a lifetime of devotion to the love of his life.

Like the cowboy gets the girl when the credits roll
I'll give you a lifetime of days in the sun
Kelly Lynn has been the subject of a number of Janson's previous love songs, including the Buy Me a Boat track "Holdin' Her."
