Chickens in the Yard

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Twenty-eight years down a winding road, Started with a smile in the place she worked, Didn't know then she'd carry my load, Or pull me back from where the darkness lurked. Blonde hair catching the morning light, She made the broken pieces feel alright. [Chorus] Oh, she's my peace, she's my healing hand, The reason this old heart still understands. Through every storm, through every fall, Jessica, you've been there through it all. Love like ours don't fade, it grows, Like wildflowers and the country rose. [Verse 2] Christmas morning, ring in my hand, You said yes beneath the tree, Built a life I never planned, Two baby girls who look like me and thee. We chased a dream and made it real, An empire built from how we feel. [Chorus] Oh, she's my peace, she's my healing hand, The reason this old heart still understands. Through every storm, through every fall, Jessica, you've been there through it all. Love like ours don't fade, it grows, Like wildflowers and the country rose. [Bridge] Now there's grandbabies on the porch swing, Chickens in the yard, the garden green, Every quiet moment makes me sing, For the finest woman I've ever seen. [Verse 3] We slowed it down on this little farm, Hands in the dirt, you in my arms, You faced my demons, kept me warm, Jessica, you're my lucky charm. Family grown and roots run deep, A love like this is ours to keep. [Chorus] Oh, she's my peace, she's my healing hand, The reason this old heart still understands. Through every storm, through every fall, Jessica, you've been there through it all. [Outro] Twenty-eight years, and I'd do it again, My wife, my home, my dearest friend.
