Hey Love, Bye Love

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Red and blue lights cut the dark that night A scared young woman, a world not right Then a steady voice and a deputy's hand Reached through the chaos, helped me stand Public service runs through our veins He brought the calm to all my pain [Chorus] "Hey love," when he walks through the door "Bye love," and I'm missing him more Thank you, Jimmy, for loving me through The girls, the years, the whole life we grew Country roads led me right to you A quiet kind of love so true [Verse 2] Never would've picked him from a crowd But God knew better, and I'm so proud He took my girls and called them his own I held his close, we built a home Blended hearts, one bigger whole He's the keeper of my soul [Chorus] "Hey love," when he walks through the door "Bye love," and I'm missing him more Thank you, Jimmy, for loving me through The girls, the years, the whole life we grew Country roads led me right to you A quiet kind of love so true [Bridge] Frosty mornings in the deer stand Coffee warm in a calloused hand Twenty-five years and still he stays My protector through all my days [Verse 3] Now the grandbabies climb on his knee "Poppie" laughing, oh what we get to see A wonderful dad, a bonus too There's nothing this good man won't do From that first call to this front porch He's been my comfort, my light, my torch [Chorus] "Hey love," when he walks through the door "Bye love," and I'm missing him more Thank you, Jimmy, for loving me through The girls, the years, the whole life we grew [Outro] Happy Father's Day, my deputy Bye love, hey love — you and me
