Hang On and Love the Ride

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Morning light comes creeping slow, Coffee brewing, radio low, Three old dogs still fast asleep, Curled up close, the promises we keep. Twenty-seven years have rolled on by, Hand in hand, we've held on tight. [Chorus] Oh Shelly, you're my steady ground, The strongest heart I ever found, Through every storm, you hold it all, You catch us all before we fall. By grace of God, you're mine to hold, My whole life long, my heart of gold. [Verse 2] You love your family fierce and true, Every friend gets held by you, When trouble knocks upon our door, We fix it up and love some more. First I see when day begins, Last goodnight before it ends. [Chorus] Oh Shelly, you're my steady ground, The strongest heart I ever found, Through every storm, you hold it all, You catch us all before we fall. By grace of God, you're mine to hold, My whole life long, my heart of gold. [Bridge] We just hang on and love the ride, Faith and family side by side. Thank the Lord for all we've done, Shell, my darling, you're the one. [Verse 3] I can't imagine life apart, You're the beat inside my heart. Whatever comes, we'll see it through, Every day I'm blessed by you. So here's to years that lie ahead, Same warm smile in the same warm bed. [Chorus] Oh Shelly, you're my steady ground, The strongest heart I ever found, Through every storm, you hold it all, You catch us all before we fall. By grace of God, you're mine to hold, My whole life long, my heart of gold. [Outro] God bless the road we've traveled, Shell, Twenty-seven years and loving well.
