Dust, Stars, and the Decasa's

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two kids who found each other young Before the world had made us strong Through broken roads and tangled starts We carried hope inside our hearts I needed saving, you were there At eighteen I came up for air [Chorus] Here's to the life we built by hand The dust, the dirt, the promised land From nothing much we made it all You caught me every time I'd fall And I thank the Lord above For this rough and tender love [Verse 2] Gabby, you were the only boy Five sisters strong, but you found joy In rodeos and open range A cowboy learning how to change We scraped by on a ranch we loved With calloused hands and stars above Then Calob came and changed the game Our son who gave this life a name [Chorus] Here's to the life we built by hand The dust, the dirt, the promised land From nothing much we made it all You caught me every time I'd fall And I thank the Lord above For this rough and tender love [Bridge] Football games and fishing lines Hard lessons learned and tangled vines Then Verly came, our princess girl And Gabby, you became the pearl You settled down, you chose us first Through all my storms, through all my worst [Verse 3] We opened doors to those in need Became the family we both believed The Decasa's standing side by side Through every storm, through every ride Now retirement's finally here And life is good, the sky is clear [Chorus] Here's to the life we built by hand The dust, the dirt, the promised land From nothing much we made it all You caught me every time I'd fall And I thank the Lord above For this rough and tender love [Outro] So Gabby, here's my heart, it's true I thank the Lord for giving me you
