Verse 1
Well, your eyes shine brighter than a July cornfield,
Your laugh’s a melody this old heart can’t beat.
We’ve danced through storms on these backroads we’ve claimed,
You’re my sweet salvation, my slow-burnin’ flame.
Chorus
Oh darlin’, you’re whiskey and moonbeams combined—
A love like the river, steady, wild, and unlined.
From dusk ’til the rooster cries up the dawn,
I’m yours, heart and soul, ‘til the last star is gone.
Verse 2
Your hands write stories on this work-worn skin,
Every scar’s a verse where your touch has been.
We’re two weathered oaks in a Tennessee storm,
Rooted deep, baby—you keep me warm.*
Chorus
Oh darlin’, you’re whiskey and moonbeams combined—
A love like the river, steady, wild, and unlined.
From dusk ’til the rooster cries up the dawn,
I’m yours, heart and soul, ‘til the last star is gone.
Bridge
The world spins fast, but girl, we move slow—
Just your heartbeat, my boots, and the radio.
No gold in the hills could ever outweigh
The treasure I’ve found in your sun-kissed gaze.
Outro
So let’s raise our ghosts to the years yet to come,
Two souls in the dirt, singin’ hymns to the sun.
Forever’s a road—hell, let’s ride it all night,*
My queen of the prairies, my fire, my light.
