That Country Road Back Home

Lyrics

[Verse 1] On a dusty country road, summer sun was burning low A boy moved in next door and something changed Fifteen years old, just a glance was all it took I knew my world would never be the same We'd talk through a chain link fence until the stars came out Then Daddy'd holler, "Girl, get inside now" [Chorus] Heaven has a way of bringing hearts back home Through the broken and the beautiful we've grown Twenty-five years, seven kids, and counting blessings every day You love me through the dark and through the light You're my rock, my safe place, my always and my right And I'd walk that country road a thousand times [Verse 2] When my world was falling down and nothing felt like solid ground You were there, the voice that pulled me through When we found each other again, it was like breathing once more My life began the day I came back to you We're not perfect, Lord, we know But we built this love from stone James, your blue eyes still feel like coming home [Chorus] Heaven has a way of bringing hearts back home Through the broken and the beautiful we've grown Twenty-five years, seven kids, and counting blessings every day You love me through the dark and through the light You're my rock, my safe place, my always and my right And I'd walk that country road a thousand times [Bridge] You set yourself aside so everyone can shine A man of faith and strength, a heart like Christ's design Five grandbabies calling out your name James, this legacy of love is your greatest claim [Verse 3] From that tall, brown-haired boy on a gravel lane To the man who holds this family like a flame You've smiled through storms and never once retreated Every moment you have lifted me back up Is a testament that God gave me enough James, you are my heart, my home, my everything [Outro] Sweet pea's still right here beside you, hand in hand Still that girl next door who always knew the plan James, I'd choose you every life, every road, every time
