Our First Year |
The winter wind was blowin' when we loaded that old truck |
With a few things that we had and all our dreams. |
With my new bride there beside me we headed down the road |
I would show her places and things she’d never seen |
First we went to Denver, Fort Worth, then San Antone |
She cheered me on at every rodeo, |
But Houston finally ended and then San Angelo |
I didn’t want to tell her but she knew that we were broke. |
But she never complained when the winnin’s didn’t come |
She just took it all in stride, |
And if I rode good or bit the dust, she was just as proud |
She was happy bein' by my side |
Then in California the baby started showin' |
And all her clothes were gettin' way too small |
We couldn’t spare the money to buy her any new ones |
She just wore my shirt and jeans and didn’t mind at all. |
And early in the mornin' we’d wake up by the roadside |
I’d build a fire and she’d get out the eggs |
She’d cook us up some breakfast then we’d sit down there on the grass |
Lord, those were the best meals I guess I ever ate. |
But she never complained when the winnin’s didn’t come |
She just took it all in stride, |
And if I rode good or bit the dust, she was just as proud |
She was happy bein' by my side |
Then in California the baby started showin' |
And all her clothes were gettin' way too small |
We couldn’t spare the money to buy her any new ones |
She just wore my shirt and jeans and didn’t mind at all. |
Well now those days are over, and somehow we got ahead |
That little gal I married’s still here with me |
We finally got the house we planned down there beside the stream |
And all those old hard times are just cherished memories. |
But she never complained when the winnin’s didn’t come |
She just took it all in stride, |
And if I rode good or bit the dust, she was just as proud |
She was happy bein' by my side |
Then in California the baby started showin' |
And all her clothes were gettin' way too small |
We couldn’t spare the money to buy her any new ones |
She just wore my shirt and jeans and didn’t mind at all. |
She was happy bein' by my side. |
