That old house on tattooed skin At the end of the road where it began We were too dumb to know we didn't know anything And too young for making those plans Would have all went to hell if not for you I guess those storms made us weatherproof That's where I was born, and that's just the truth I promise you ever since then I've been thanking God for the plans He made Looking back on those early days Between playing house and praying for grace I hope you understand I've been your biggest fan since 1988 1988 Oil stains on that old driveway Overtime and bills we couldn't pay One on the hip, one on the way Smiling in the TV light I held you all tight, one at a time Every beat of your heart, I felt inside mine It's all wrapped up in the days gone by You taught me everything that I know So I'm thanking God for the plans He made And looking back on those early days Half scared to death, half stupid brave I hope you understand I've been your biggest fan since 1988 1988 We left our names in fresh concrete Wrestled angels in summer feet Glory days down that side street Those years made him, those years made me Thanking God for the plans He made And soaking in these dreams we chase Between growing up and standing right here today I hope you understand I've been your biggest fan since 1988 1988 I've been your biggest fan Since 1988
