The Blessed Ones

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Long white lines beneath the moon, A radio playing an old slow tune. Through every town, through wind and rain, He carries love down every lane. Headlights shining on what's to come, Working hard till the day is done. [Chorus] Oh, what a man, what a steady hand, Built our home on solid ground. Through every storm, he stood so strong, Faith and love is where we found The kind of guide a heart can trust, Thank you, Joe, for all you've done. [Verse 2] Nights alone in that driver's seat, Watching families on the street, Dreaming of a farmhouse view, Morning coffee, sky of blue. Dreaming of growing old at home, No more miles, no more roads to roam. He set his dreams aside for me, Held my hand through the deep, deep sea. [Chorus] Oh, what a man, what a steady hand, Built our home on solid ground. Through every storm, he stood so strong, Faith and love is where we found The kind of guide a heart can trust, Thank you, Joe, for all you've done. [Bridge] That '57 Chevy waits in the sun, Rusted dreams of a quiet run. Twenty-three years, still you stay— The blessing came our way. [Verse 3] Christian's grown, cap and gown, His eyes light up when you come 'round. He doesn't say much, but he knows— A good man is how a good man grows. You taught him strength, you taught him grace, The kindness written on your face. [Chorus] Oh, what a man, what a steady hand, Built our home on solid ground. Through every storm, he stood so strong, Faith and love is where we found The kind of guide a heart can trust, Thank you, Joe, for all you've done. [Outro] Drive on home, the porch light's on, We're the blessed ones, Joe. We're the blessed ones.
