Pulled a Barstool Close

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Six o'clock on a Monaghan's night, Neon buzzin', the mood just right. Came back in for my shades I'd lost, Ordered a Jack, never counted the cost. Little did I know that ordinary day Was fixin' to steal my whole heart away. [Chorus] And there she was, Theresa, Pulled a barstool close to mine. I never stood a chance, darlin', And I've thanked the stars every time. Thirty-two years of holdin' on, Still the sweetest song I know — Theresa, you're my home. [Verse 2] Her shift was endin', mine was startin' new, Fate had a plan I never knew. Came back from the hall and found my seat, And a girl who made my whole world complete. A glass, a smile, a quiet grin, That's the night my real life began. [Chorus] And there she was, Theresa, Pulled a barstool close to mine. I never stood a chance, darlin', And I've thanked the stars every time. Thirty-two years of holdin' on, Still the sweetest song I know — Theresa, you're my home. [Bridge] Through every storm we weathered strong, Built a family, sang our song. A legacy of hope and grace, Written in your loving face. [Verse 3] Now the kids have grown, the years rolled by, But you still light up that country sky. Same old spark from that barstool seat, You make this crazy life so sweet. Here's to forever, here's to us, To the love, the hope, the strength, the trust. [Chorus] And there she was, Theresa, Pulled a barstool close to mine. I never stood a chance, darlin', And I'll thank the stars every time. Thirty-two years of holdin' on, Still the sweetest song I know — Theresa, you're my home. [Outro] So raise a glass to that Jack & Coke, And the finest love a heart ever spoke.
