OUR COUNTRY SONG

When your husband asks you to write him a song, and it comes in the early morning hours.

OUR COUNTRY SONG 

There's a way to write a love song
Without the whiskey and the whine
And people crying all the time
Built on a life that’s holding strong
Keeping the fire burning all along
We may not make it famous
But our love writes some good lines
I gave you my heart right from the start
You're my Tim and I'm your Faith
And this is our country song


Take my tea and your lemonade
To that old rocking porch
Share a story of the babies
When they rode a rocking horse

Walk the beach hand in hand
Pulling secrets from the sand
Remember all those places
  Water erased our footprint traces

There's a way to write a love song
Without the whiskey and the whine
And people crying all the time
Built on a life that’s holding strong
Keeping the fire burning all along
We may not make it famous
But our love writes some good lines
I gave you my heart right from the start
You're my Tim and I'm your Faith
And this is our country song

No matter where we go
Got a song playing on the radio
Dancing to our own rhythm
Making it close and slow


You can stumble down the stairs
And fumble through your words
But you won't walk out of my life
Cause your always right here in my heart


There's a way to write a love song
Without the whiskey and the whine
And people crying all the time
Built on a life that’s holding strong
Keeping the fire burning all along
We may not make it famous
But our love writes some good lines
I gave you my heart right from the start
You're my Tim and I'm your Faith
And this is our country song

No time for regrets
Or carrying what ifs
We better pick up the bucket
And start marking up that list

Light the stars with our smiling eyes
Stare at me deeper; stare at you longer
Lift our cheeks and wrinkled eyes
Match the shine from the skies.


There's a way to write a love song

Without the whiskey and the whine
And people crying all the time
Built on a life that’s holding strong
Keeping the fire burning all along
We may not make it famous
But our love writes some good lines
I gave you my heart right from the start
You're my Tim and I'm your Faith
And this is our country song



Yeah, this is our country song.

That is to fantastic. I love you and your writing. Now who is going to put that to music. How did Rick like it. I hope he feels like he is in heaven having you for the love of his life. You two are a small miracle.
I love you you you you
