| Moving Oleta was the hardest thing he’d done
|
| The nurses saw an old woman crying, but he saw the love of his life
|
| She don’t know where she is, but she knows this isn’t home
|
| Love is a hard, hard road
|
| He met her in the summer of '37
|
| In a brush harbor down on the Rush Creek shore
|
| He loved her black hair and the mischief in her smile
|
| But she won him with her eyes
|
| All the years and children grow
|
| He still sees her the same
|
| Love is a hard, hard road
|
| He woke up each morning and drove into town
|
| He stayed all day 'till her dinner came
|
| Then he took her to her room, leaned on her wheelchair like a walker
|
| And covered her with a quit that she made
|
| Only God and a couple of nurses helped the old man shoulder the load
|
| Love is a hard, hard road
|
| And he said
|
| They tell me this is all that’s left
|
| Say this hell on earth is best
|
| I list all those reasons and I still don’t understand it He cursed his body old and weak
|
| Tears of failure burned his cheek
|
| And he said
|
| Oh, don’t you know I prayed to die before this day
|
| Love is a hard, hard road
|
| There’s a shadow much darker than the valley of death
|
| When you fear the reaper might not come today
|
| They line 'em up in La-z-boys out in the sunroom
|
| The TV keeps the quiet away
|
| She can’t recall his name
|
| And she’s the only love he’s known
|
| Love is a hard, hard road
|
| Love is a hard road
|
| Moving Oleta was the hardest thing he’d done |
