Fifty-Three Years Down a Country Road

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Fifty-three years down a country road Through every season, every load Hand in hand since we were young Two hearts beating, one true song We were kids with dreams so bright Found forever one summer night [Chorus] You're the rock that holds us steady You're the love that's always ready Through the laughter and the tears You've been my home all these years In your eyes I see it all The grace that caught me when I'd fall [Verse 2] You raised our babies with gentle hands Now grandkids run across this land You forgave me when I lost my way Loved me harder every day The kitchen light, your morning smile Made every mile feel worthwhile [Chorus] You're the rock that holds us steady You're the love that's always ready Through the laughter and the tears You've been my home all these years In your eyes I see it all The grace that caught me when I'd fall [Bridge] Susan, you're the best thing in my life My high school love, my forever wife Don't you ever change a thing You're the song my heart will sing [Verse 3] Still beautiful, still wise, still mine Sweeter with the passing time Mother, grandma, friend, and bride I thank God you're by my side Susan, hear me when I say I'll love you more with every day [Chorus] You're the rock that holds us steady You're the love that's always ready Through the laughter and the tears You've been my home all these years In your eyes I see it all The grace that caught me when I'd fall [Outro] Forever in my heart you'll stay My Susan, every single day
