Every Shining Scar

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a story 'bout a man I know Steady hands and a heart of gold Worked his days with a quiet pride Counting more than dimes inside Met him once at a bar and grill Country song on the jukebox still [Chorus] Here's to you, here's to all you are Every mile, every shining scar Stronger than the road you've known Thank the Lord you ain't walked alone Raise a glass, let the music play Happy birthday, my love, today [Verse 2] We brought our families 'round the table Built a love that proved it's able Slipped away to a Vegas night Neon vows beneath the lights Two hearts dancing, slow and true Every step, I chose you [Chorus] Here's to you, here's to all you are Every mile, every shining scar Stronger than the road you've known Thank the Lord you ain't walked alone Raise a glass, let the music play Happy birthday, my love, today [Bridge] There was a night the world held still A quiet room, a fragile will But heaven wasn't ready yet Gave you back, I won't forget [Verse 3] Now we chase the Cape Cod sun Salty air and seasons won Tom, my husband, my best friend Grateful for this second chance again Laughing gray and growing old Sweetest country song ever told [Chorus] Here's to you, Tom, all you are Every mile, every shining scar Stronger than the road you've known Thank the Lord you ain't walked alone Raise a glass, let the music play Happy birthday, my love, today [Outro] Here's to Tom and the years ahead Every word the good Lord said Living, laughing, hand in hand Happy birthday, my country man
