Salt-Sweet Air

Lyrics

[Verse 1] North Texas skies and workin' hands A quiet town, a plan unplanned Denison held a summer glow Where two hearts learned to grow A little girl of five years old And a love that would unfold [Chorus] Oh Jeanie, you're the salt-sweet air The gorgeous heart, the answered prayer The biggest love I've ever known You made this wanderin' man a home Through every tide and every year You're the reason I am here [Verse 2] December nineteen, ninety-two I stood and said my vows to you Now Flour Bluff and the Gulf Coast breeze Our forever home beneath the trees You bring the sunshine everywhere With Melisa laughin', not a care [Chorus] Oh Jeanie, you're the salt-sweet air The gorgeous heart, the answered prayer The biggest love I've ever known You made this wanderin' man a home Through every tide and every year You're the reason I am here [Bridge] Anguilla nights, the Dune's guitar Bankie's music, near and far Omari singin' by the sea You dancin' close to me A song that plays inside my soul You made this broken cowboy whole [Verse 3] You're supportive, sweet, and giving true The strongest, kindest love I knew We chase the tropics, chase the sound Where Buffett songs and joy are found And Jeanie, when I count my days I count your smile in a thousand ways Still outgoing, full of grace The endless comfort in your face [Chorus] Oh Jeanie, you're the salt-sweet air The gorgeous heart, the answered prayer The biggest love I've ever known You made this wanderin' man a home Through every tide and every year You're the reason I am here [Outro] So here's to us, and all we've grown The beaches, songs, our forever home Jeanie, I'd choose you every time
