The One I Got Right

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Ten thousand miles of crooked road Ten thousand wrongs I should've slowed But every turn I took back then Somehow led me home again To a porch light burning soft and true To the steady heart I found in you [Chorus] You're everything I could have wanted Every prayer my soul has counted Strong and loving, smart and kind The sweetest grace I'll ever find I've made my share of wrongs, it's true But darlin', you were never one I'd undo [Verse 2] Remember bonfires by the river How the embers used to shiver Boat rides drifting slow on the lake Every moment we could take You gave so freely, asked so small Held us together through it all [Chorus] You're everything I could have wanted Every prayer my soul has counted Strong and loving, smart and kind The sweetest grace I'll ever find I've made my share of wrongs, it's true But darlin', you were never one I'd undo [Bridge] Sarah, forgive the man I was before 'Cause loving you taught me so much more Forty-two years and you still surprise A second sun, a Carolina sunrise [Verse 3] So here's to years that lie ahead The quiet words still left unsaid To dancing slow in our own kitchen Every dream we keep on wishin' Sarah, my comfort, my truest friend I'll choose you 'til the very end [Chorus] You're everything I could have wanted Every prayer my soul has counted Strong and loving, smart and kind The sweetest grace I'll ever find I've made my share of wrongs, it's true But Sarah, you were never one I'd undo [Outro] Ten thousand mistakes behind me now You're the one I got right somehow Forty-two years, and I'll say it loud Sweet Sarah, my forever vow
