| I’m not the kind to take things for granted
|
| A simple mind and two strong working hands
|
| But at the time I thought my feet were planted
|
| You came along and uprooted this simple man
|
| A strong-willed woman with every chance to show it
|
| But I didn’t mind 'cause you made my life worthwhile
|
| A beautiful woman with every reason to know it
|
| You liked my courage and honey I sure liked your style
|
| A country boy and city girl makin' life in this old world
|
| We went against the grain and against all odds
|
| It don’t matter what they say, I’m gonna love you anyway
|
| And time won’t undo what you’ve gone and done to my heart
|
| I always thought we’d stay together
|
| And I still think about you from time to time
|
| But I should have known nothing lasts forever
|
| But I’d never be the one to say goodbye
|
| And I remember
|
| A country boy and city girl makin' life in this old world
|
| We went against the grain and against all odds
|
| It don’t matter what they say, I’m gonna love you anyway
|
| And time won’t undo what you’ve gone and done to my heart |
