I'm not the kind to take things for granted

A simple mind and two strong working hands

But at the time I thought my feet were planted

You came along and uprooted this simple man

A strong-willed woman with every chance to show it

But I didn't mind 'cause you made my life worthwhile

A beautiful woman with every reason to know it

You liked my courage and honey I sure liked your style



A country boy and city girl makin' life in this old world

We went against the grain and against all odds

It don't matter what they say, I'm gonna love you anyway

And time won't undo what you've gone and done to my heart



I always thought we'd stay together

And I still think about you from time to time

But I should have known nothing lasts forever

But I'd never be the one to say goodbye



And I remember



A country boy and city girl makin' life in this old world

We went against the grain and against all odds

It don't matter what they say, I'm gonna love you anyway

And time won't undo what you've gone and done to my heart
