| I was born to a family of jokers
|
| Gamblers and smokers living on the line
|
| I was raised by strong-headed women
|
| Men who tested limits and did a little time
|
| And it ain’t a mystery you fell for me
|
| We’re just two lost souls trying to find our peace
|
| Love like ours ain’t a masterpiece
|
| It’s a good day in the sun
|
| I was born to love you
|
| Out where the water is wide
|
| Make me your country bride
|
| You’ll be my prince of tides
|
| You were born to heal me
|
| Under a velvet sky
|
| Cattails dancing in the light
|
| We were born to live a long and happy life
|
| A happy life
|
| Yeah, folks like us
|
| We may lie down in darkness
|
| But we don’t lose our sparks; |
| we bring back a good story to tell
|
| Cause we grew up around beauty
|
| Sunsets better than a movie
|
| We knew it was our appointed duty to love like the world might end
|
| And to toast to good nights with friends
|
| I was born to love you
|
| Out where the water is wide
|
| Make me your country bride
|
| You’ll be my prince of tides
|
| You were born to heal me
|
| Under a velvet sky
|
| Cattails dancing in the light
|
| We were born to live a long and happy life
|
| A happy life
|
| Hey, a happy life
|
| And it comes to me in waves
|
| Like the shores of Palmetto Bay
|
| Knowing I’m so lucky
|
| Your broken heart could love me
|
| I was born to love you
|
| Out where the water is wide
|
| Make me your country bride
|
| You’ll be my prince of tides
|
| You were born to heal me
|
| Under a velvet sky
|
| Cattails dancing in the light
|
| We were born to live a long and happy life
|
| A happy life
|
| Hey, a happy life
|
| Happy life |
