Staring into the middle of a prairie sky
With a blonde haired girl and the rest of our lives
Born a couple lucky ones,
the lessons we did learn
That in the blink of an eye,
you're lost with no return
So when the cold came down the line Her daddy's worst was yet to come
She stayed up all night crying,
she never lost anyone
And I'm a fool to believe just cause I walked this road before
You can't howl at the moon when you're stuck in the storm
So stand on,
cause we're more than just skin and bone
You're everything I got, so stand on
We'll follow our own way home
Cause you're everything I got
Well it's easier to run than catch your breath from
all the change But for the first time in my life,
I knew right where I would stay Her daddy asked the question,
will he always be the one?
And could I walk you down the aisle before my time has come?
So stand on,
cause we're more than just skin and bone
You're everything I got, so stand on
We'll follow our own way home
Cause you're everything I got
Well it takes a little time to let your love grow up true
But if I ran a million miles,
hope I'd run them down with you
We both know that I can't afford to buy you anything
But my grandpa gave my granny this little ruby ring
So stand on,
cause we're more than just skin and bone
You're everything I got, so stand on
We'll follow our own way home
Cause you're everything I got
Stand on
Oh yeah, you're everything I got, so stand on
Oh yeah, you're everything I got
