Lyrics

Intro

(Ohhh, Kelly)

Yeah, my love... from Detroit to Opelika

Verse

Remember that summer in Opelika heat,

Dendy High hallways where our eyes first meet.

You in your letterman jacket, smile so sweet,

I was hooked right then, couldn't skip a beat.

From the bleachers yellin', Friday night lights,

Your laugh cut through, turned my wrongs to rights.

We'd sneak out drivin', talkin' all night,

Dreamin' big from that small-town life.

Pre-chorus

Now years roll by, but that fire still burns,

Through the miles and the turns...

Chorus

Happy anniversary, my Kelly, my queen,

From Detroit streets to where the pines stay green.

You're my ride-or-die, my everything,

Kelly, oh Kelly, let's do this again.

Happy anniversary (anniversary), my Kelly, my heart,

We've built this love, never fallin' apart.

Yeah, happy anniversary, forever we'll start...

My Kelly (my Kelly).

Verse

Packed up from the South, chased dreams up North,

Detroit winters, but you kept me warm.

Raised our family, through the storms we fought,

Hand in hand, yeah, we gave it all we got.

From high school dances to these silver rings,

Opelika roots, but our love's got wings.

Every year better, that's what it brings,

You and me, baby, we were made to sing.

Pre-chorus

Years roll by, but that spark never fades,

In your eyes, my home always stays...

Chorus

Happy anniversary, my Kelly, my queen,

From Detroit streets to where the pines stay green.

You're my ride-or-die, my everything,

Kelly, oh Kelly, let's do this again.

Happy anniversary (anniversary), my Kelly, my heart,

We've built this love, never fallin' apart.

Yeah, happy anniversary, forever we'll start...

My Kelly (my Kelly).

Bridge

Here's to more sunsets, more coffee at dawn,

Dancin' in kitchens till the kids are gone.

From Dendy days to whatever's next,

I choose you always, yeah, you're the best.

(Ohhh, yeah)

Chorus

Happy anniversary, my Kelly, my queen,

From Detroit streets to where the pines stay green.

You're my ride-or-die, my everything,

Kelly, oh Kelly, let's do this again.

Happy anniversary (anniversary), my Kelly, my heart,

We've built this love, never fallin' apart.

Yeah, happy anniversary, forever we'll start...

My Kelly (my Kelly, yeah).

Outro
