Story Behind The Song
After more than a decade of marriage together the future has never seemed brighter. Not circumstantially, but relationally. Our love is continually restored and strengthened and the milestone of a third child on our ?road together? has reminded me of just how much road we still have ahead. It will be a great road because we are together.
Song Description
This song is really about a typical marriage relationship that survives years of both joys and challenges because they go through life together. They know they would both be lost without each other. They face the future with hope and optimism not because they think the road ahead of them will be easy, but because they know that they have each other to take that journey with. The idea of not insulating themselves from the ?elements? of life by keeping the windows up, but rather to roll them down and live life to it?s fullest, side-by-side.

Lyrics
Love is like a drive across the open country
So many turns to take without the signs to show the way
And all the hills we?ve got to climb, all the cliffs we have to face
It?s a windy road that?s brought us to this place
Sometimes love makes us feel like we just won?t make it
And all this driving rain is blowing us around again
But we?ve been down this road and always ended up much stronger
We will always find our way
Chorus
So let the wind in, feel the breeze
Slide on over next to me
The road is long but
We?ll be just fine cause we?re living
This road together
Used to be back when we were starting out together
It seemed like love would be a road we?d want to drive forever
Through the years we?ve had our share of sudden turns
But I always knew we?d find our way
So let the wind in, feel the breeze
Slide on over next to me
The road is long but
We?ll be just fine cause we?re living
Bridge
I know that there were times when we both felt like giving up
Broken down and stranded begging help from up above
But now those prayers are coming ?round the sun is breaking through the clouds
This road that lies ahead of us is open for the rest of our lives
So let the wind in, feel the breeze
Slide on over next to me
The road is long but
We?ll be just fine cause we?re living
This road together
