Gentle Hands, Handshake Heart

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sometimes love takes the long way round Through broken roads and broken ground You learn to pray, you learn to wait For the one who shows up worth the faith A blue shirt on a screen one night And something whispered, hold on tight [Chorus] He loves me hard with gentle hands A handshake heart, a working man Through every storm he's standing tall I swear God made you for me after all So catch me, darling, like you do My soul found everything in you [Verse 2] Six years of dating, then we said I do Twice just to make sure it would hold true Doug, you never flinched at all my scars You called me beautiful beneath the stars From South Padre sand to Texas roads You made every mile feel like home [Chorus] He loves me hard with gentle hands A handshake heart, a working man Through every storm he's standing tall I swear God made you for me after all So catch me, darling, like you do My soul found everything in you [Bridge] Red heelers runnin', rescues at our feet Pontooning on the lake in summer heat Four wheels and horses, rodeo nights Doug, you love it all and hold me right [Verse 3] You held me close when we lost Hooey Wiped my tears so soft and gently Tractors in the field and dust on your boots But your touch is tender, that's the truth Seven years of golden history Doug, you're the world entire to me [Chorus] He loves me hard with gentle hands A handshake heart, a working man Through every storm he's standing tall I swear God made you for me after all So catch me, darling, like you do My soul found everything in you [Outro] Thirteen years and I'd choose you again My biggest fan, my safest place to land
