Crimson Tide and Scarlet Gray

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A Kansas City terminal, a crowded gate that day Two strangers found their seat assigned, and headed Music's way Somewhere over Tennessee, a quiet spark took flight And when we touched down in Nashville, he kissed me sweet that night [Chorus] Here's to the man, the steady kind The hand I hold, the peace of mind Funny and kind with a heart so true Happy birthday, baby, here's to you Raise a glass to the love we've grown The greatest blessing I've ever known [Verse 2] He said you ain't seen football till you've stood in Tuscaloosa red I told him 'bout the Buckeyes and the Horseshoe up ahead We laughed across that aisle, two worlds that somehow rhyme Crimson tide and scarlet gray, woven into time [Chorus] Here's to the man, the steady kind The hand I hold, the peace of mind Funny and kind with a heart so true Happy birthday, baby, here's to you Raise a glass to the love we've grown The greatest blessing I've ever known [Bridge] Sixty-two and two, the legend on that floor St. Rose remembers, but we love him more Roll Tide, Tim, our rock through every storm [Verse 3] The way you love our Jonathan, our grandsons running wild Every cousin, every aunt, you treat them like your child Our comforter, our provider, the laughter in our home Here's to health and happiness in every year to come [Chorus] Here's to the man, the steady kind The hand I hold, the peace of mind Funny and kind with a heart so true Happy birthday, Tim, here's to you Raise a glass to the love we've grown The greatest blessing I've ever known [Outro] Happy birthday, Tim, my forever and a day Roll Tide, my love, in every kind of way
