B.L.E.S.S.E.D.

Namaste MIX1

After listening to a WWII veteran speaking about why he and his friends lied about their ages to join the war. His reply was because "They Believed", They Believed in leaving what they have better than what they found it.

They Believe

I'm a cowboy at heart but that ain't no excuse
For all the times I rode roughshod over you 
There's no way to wrangle any harsh words I said
That kept us up some nights alone in the same bed...but...
 
If I could throw a bridle and saddle on my life
Spin it around, take the trail back in time
And head off each tear I sent down your face
Then, darling, you know, I'd be RIDING HARD TODAY
 
You tamed my wild side; let my spirit roam free
I guess that's why I never dropped down on my knee
But you know I've always stayed true to the brand
That you put on me when I first held your hand...so...

REPEAT CHORUS

Yeah, you gave me fair warning but this cowboy didn't change
Now I'm fading in your rearview while you're RIDING HARD TODAY

Riding Hard Today

Our parents said we married too young
Thought our vows could never take it
Now twenty years have come and gone 
And we're still acting like when we first dated
I'm sure there's a more romantic way 
To paint a picture of our fate
But I'll draw on my trucking days 
To explain our situation...

We're in it for the LONG HAUL
Cruising up and down love's road 
Taking all the curves in stride
Lightenin' each other's load 
We've tapped the brakes, got lost some days
But our hearts ain't ever stalled
We're in it for the LONG HAUL

Our honeymoon was me and you
In my brand-new tractor-trailer
After two weeks on the road with me
You did us both a favor
Made me quit my overnighters
Grew our family two kids wider
Helped us set our souls on fire
At the church up on the hill

REPEAT CHORUS
