Every Mile I Marched for You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some nights I watch the evening fall Thinking how a man can start with nothing at all Back then my pockets held no plans, no name Just a young girl's smile that set my heart aflame I had no future I could offer you So I put on a uniform and saw it through [Chorus] Every mile I marched, I marched for you Every road I traveled led me home Lindy, you give your heart to everyone But you never let me feel alone Thirty-eight years and I'm still falling Still yours, girl, still your own [Verse 2] Twenty-five years of boots and distant skies Letters in the dark beneath foreign lights You held the house together while I was gone Raised Tiffany, Melvin and Kevin strong Every time I came back through that door You loved me like the day before [Chorus] Every mile I marched, I marched for you Every road I traveled led me home Lindy, you give your heart to everyone But you never let me feel alone Thirty-eight years and I'm still falling Still yours, girl, still your own [Bridge] Now there's Lennox, Jojo, Jeremiah Jovani, Cataleya, Sebastian too Six little hearts that carry your fire Six little reasons that lead back to you [Verse 3] You cook, you pray, you never take a rest Giving all of us your very best So let me hold this family close for you The way you've always held us too I owe you every sunrise that I see Lindy, you're the best of me [Chorus] Every mile I marched, I marched for you Every road I traveled led me home Lindy, you give your heart to everyone But you never let me feel alone Thirty-eight years and I'm still falling Still yours, girl, still your own [Outro] Thirty-eight years, I'd do it all again My wife, my home, my friend
