Story Behind The Song

"Anywhere" is a song born from the idea that love and connection can happen in the most unexpected places. The spark for this song came from a Brad Paisley interview, where he shared how he first noticed his future wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, on the big screen in Father of the Bride. That story stuck with me and inspired the line: "Or that singer Brad Paisley, on the screen he found his bride."

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Like strangers on a blind date
You can see it in their eyes
Or that singer Brad Paisley
On the screen he found his bride

[Bridge-Verse 1]
In a church, at the mall, on a beach in Panama
It really is that simple, anyplace at all

[Verse 2]
Like a young man with his first dog
He's found a friend for life
Or that old man in the graveyard
Laying down flowers for his wife

[Chorus 1]
You don't have to search real hard
You shouldn't have to wait too long
It can happen in the blink of an eye
When the right one comes along
It's universal and spoken everywhere
Sometimes... it's in the air
So keep your heart wide open
And you can find it
Anywhere

[Verse 3]
Like a sweet kiss on a first date
Then her dad flips on the light
Or that old couple on a park bench
50 years, been holding hands all their life

[Bridge-Verse 2]
On a boat, in a bar, even a wish upon a star
It can happen to anyone, no matter where you are

[Verse 4]
Like our soldiers on the front lines
Defending our country tis of thee
Or Superbowl 57, Stapleton singing
"Oh say can you see"

[Chorus 2]
You don't have to search real hard
You shouldn't have to wait too long
It can happen in the blink of an eye
When the right one comes along
It's universal and spoken everywhere
Sometimes.... it's in the air
So keep your heart wide open
And you can find it
Anywhere

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
It's a fact of life, a cold hard truth
It makes the world go round, no matter what we do
It's that scene in a movie or a verse in a song
Or that look you get, when it's been there all along

[Chorus Out]
You don't have to search real hard
You won't have to wait too long
It'll happen in the blink of an eye
When your better half comes along
It's universal and spoken everywhere
Tonight, it's in the air
So just keep your heart wide open
Just keep that one, one eye open
Just keep your heart wide open
And you will find it.....
Anywhere
