The Courage In My Chest

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two strangers scrolling late one night, Both carrying a weary heart, Neither one was doing right, Just wounded pieces torn apart. Then a message lit the dark, And somehow that became a spark. [Chorus] We took a chance, we let it grow, Left the rain of the north behind, Found a road that we could go, A brand new life, a peace of mind. You're the courage in my chest, Heidi Maxine, you're my rest. [Verse 2] We said our vows in Mexico, With our best friends standing near, The kind of love that only grows When you fight through all the fear. You held my hand, I held yours too, And I built my whole world on you. [Chorus] We took a chance, we let it grow, Left the rain of the north behind, Down to Texas skies we'd go, A brand new life, a peace of mind. You're the courage in my chest, Heidi Maxine, you're my rest. [Bridge] We were broken when we met, Now we're stronger than the storm, Every scar became a gift, In your arms I stay warm. [Verse 3] This dusty land became our home, A blessing that we hardly planned, And I don't ever want to roam, Just grow old and hold your hand. Heidi Maxine, that's all I need, A lifetime is the only creed. [Chorus] We took a chance, we let it grow, Left the rain of the north behind, Found a road that we could go, A brand new life, a peace of mind. You're the courage in my chest, Heidi Maxine, you're my rest. [Outro] So here's to every year ahead, Just you and me, the road we tread. Two broken hearts the good Lord healed, Out here beneath these open fields.
