  • What's your all time high, your good as it gets?
    Your hands down best ever make up sex?
    What's your guilty pleasure, your old go to?
    Well if you ask me, mine would be you

    What's your worst hangover, your best night yet?
    Your 90 proof, your Marlboro Red?
    The best damn thing you lucked into
    That's easy girl, mine would be you

    Mine would be you
    Sun kiss shining, back road flyin'
    Singing like crazy fools
    Making up our own words
    Laughing 'til it hurts
    Baby, if I had to choose
    My best day ever, my finest hour
    My wildest dream come true
    Mine would be you

    What's your double dare, your go all in?
    The craziest thing you ever did?
    Plain as your name in this tattoo
    Look on my arm, mine would be you

    Mine would be you
    Sun kiss shining, back road flyin'
    Singing like crazy fools
    Making up our own words
    Laughing 'til it hurts
    Baby, if I had to choose
    My best day ever, my finest hour
    My wildest dream come true
    Mine would be you

    What's the greatest chapter in your book?
    Are there pages where it hurts to look?
    What's the one regret you can't work through?
    You got it, baby, mine would be you
    Yeah, you got it, baby, mine would be you

    Mine would be you
    Taillights fading, daylight breaking
    Standing there like a fool
    When I should've been running
    Yellin' out something
    To make you wanna hold onto
    The best love ever
    Girl, can you tell me
    The one thing you'd rather die than lose?
    'Cause mine would be you
    Mine would be you Writer/s: Connie Harrington, Deric Ruttan, Jessi Alexander

  • Sandy Mcdonald from Magna, UtahWhat a beautiful song! Who is the woman singing in the background with Blake?
    Love, love, LOVE this song!!!
  • Katrina from VirginiaThis truly is a brilliant song. Emotional and kind of gut-wrenching. Beautiful where the hurt still brings up happy memories. Blake sings it perfectly. Funny how people can really love someone but still not be together...
