Love and Pinto Beans

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Myrtle Beach, a neon sign Smoky room, a glass of wine Thirty-one long years ago A second chance I didn't know I'd dreamed your face before that night God was lining up the light [Chorus] We lived on love and pinto beans Built a home from in-between Robbing Peter, paying Paul Holding tight through it all Some folks chase the gold and fame We just whispered each other's name [Verse 2] Magic Attic, I was just a girl You were nineteen, a different world But heaven kept a second song For two hearts where we belong After broken vows had come undone You became my only one [Chorus] We lived on love and pinto beans Built a home from in-between Robbing Peter, paying Paul Holding tight through it all Some folks chase the gold and fame We just whispered each other's name [Bridge] Oh Chip, you stood where others wouldn't stand Five little hearts, you took their hand A daddy that you didn't have to be The bravest love I've ever seen [Verse 3] Seventy years and sixty-four Still I love you a little more Every sunrise, every prayer Every burden that we share The kids grew up, the table's wide And I'm still proud to be your bride [Chorus] We lived on love and pinto beans Built a home from in-between Robbing Peter, paying Paul Holding tight through it all Some folks chase the gold and fame I just whisper sweet Chip's name [Outro] Who says soulmates can't be found In a bar on holy ground? Chip, I'd choose you every time Forever yours, forever mine
