Barefoot Across the Desert

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Fifty years of dusty roads behind us, Started with a wild and golden day. The desert sun, it seemed to find us, And time just slowly slipped away. I saw a girl on horseback, riding free, Bareback, barefoot, meant for me. [Chorus] Oh, that long blond hair in the wind, Same beauty now as it was back then. Through every season, storm, and dawn, Your steady love has led me on. Still my joy, my guiding light, I'd choose you every single night. [Verse 2] We built a life, we built a home, Three daughters grown and blooming bright. Thirty-two, thirty-five, thirty-seven strong, Each one a piece of our own light. A doctor's dream, so wise and true, There's nothing that you cannot do. [Chorus] Oh, that long blond hair in the wind, Same beauty now as it was back then. Through every season, storm, and dawn, Your steady love has led me on. Still my joy, my guiding light, I'd choose you every single night. [Bridge] Jody, forty-four years married now, And I am grateful, don't know how I got so blessed to call you mine— You're lovelier than desert wine. [Verse 3] Now the whole wide world is waiting, New horizons, seas and skies. Hand in hand, no hesitating, I still get lost inside your eyes. Jody, take my hand and let's roam, Wherever we are, girl, that's home. [Chorus] Oh, that long blond hair in the wind, Same beauty now as it was back then. Through every season, storm, and dawn, Your steady love has led me on. Still my joy, my guiding light, I'd choose you every single night. [Outro] Jody, my forever, my desert bride, Fifty years and you're still by my side.
