A Rug on Florida Sand

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two uniforms in Carolina rain Strangers saluting the same flag's name Friends who learned to laugh through long nights Lovers finding home in tired eyes Hiking 'til the sunsets fade Remembering the place our love was made [Verse 2] Florida miles with Georgia on my mind A weekend flight just to meet your eyes A pretzel ring at a German bar You asked a simple question, and here we are A rug rolled out on Florida sand We said forever, and I took your hand [Chorus] Through every mile, through every sea You're the steady heart that's holding me Stronger than the storms we've known Building something all our own Love that learned to wait and stay Anthony, I'd choose you every day [Verse 3] Lina came, your little mini me Silly, smart, a beauty, wild and free Then Sena fought for her first cry A beautiful light and my mirrored eyes Keys to our first home, and we agreed Everything we dreamed our life could be [Verse 4] Two deployments, goodbyes at the gate Holidays we had to celebrate late But we always find a way to make it through And our hellos get sweeter too Another tour is almost guaranteed Twelve more years until we're free [Bridge] One more goodbye, one more open sky I'll count the stars 'til you're back by my side [Verse 5] There's Tennessee land waiting somewhere green A porch, a sunset, the quiet between We'll hang the uniforms up on the wall Watch our girls grow up, catch them when they fall Five years deep and just getting started Grey hair, soft hands, never parted [Chorus] Through every mile, through every sea You're the steady heart that's holding me Stronger than the storms we've known Building something all our own A legacy of love we'll lay Anthony, I'd choose you every day [Outro] From friends, to lovers, to family of four My husband, my home, and so much more
