My Darling Can't Get Right

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Thirty-five years of country roads Two hearts walking the same dirt path Through the sunshine and the rain Through the laughter and the aftermath I found my forever in a quiet little vow And I'd choose it all again, here and now [Chorus] You're the one who keeps us standing tall The steady hand that catches every fall My best friend, my confidant, my whole The melody that mended my soul Through every season, every shade of blue There's nowhere on this earth without you [Verse 2] You're the helicopter mama hovering close Three boys and a girl all wrapped in your wings And I'm your mechanic with grease on my hands Fixing the bolts when life pulls the strings Clara, my darling "Can't get right" You're the reason I'm coming home tonight [Chorus] You're the one who keeps us standing tall The steady hand that catches every fall My best friend, my confidant, my whole The melody that mended my soul Through every season, every shade of blue There's nowhere on this earth without you [Bridge] Never a dull moment, never a quiet day Just your laughter ringing down the hallway Clara, you're the glue, you're the song we sing The light that makes our ordinary thing [Verse 3] So here's to thirty-five and many more To porch swings and the love we're living for To grandkids' footsteps and a sunset sky To holding hands the day we say goodbye Clara, you're my always, you're my proof That heaven left a little love on this roof [Chorus] You're the one who keeps us standing tall The steady hand that catches every fall My best friend, my confidant, my whole The melody that mended my soul Through every season, every shade of blue There's nowhere on this earth without you [Outro] Just you and me and the country sky Clara, my love, 'til the day I die
