Standing On That Horse

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two worn-out hearts walked through the door A quiet wine bar, nothing more Just two souls tired of the rain Looking for a little less pain But something shifted in the air A kind of peace was waiting there [Chorus] Here's to starting over, here's to finding home Here's to never having to walk alone Through the battles and the broken roads we've known Love came and said, you don't have to fight on your own [Verse 2] I've rode the rodeo and I've seen the war Carried things I don't want to carry anymore She was searching for a forever kind of love The kind that's steady, the kind that's enough Maria, when you saw me standing on that horse You smiled like you'd finally found your course [Chorus] Here's to starting over, here's to finding home Here's to never having to walk alone Through the battles and the broken roads we've known Love came and said, you don't have to fight on your own [Bridge] Up in St. Augustine we said the words Simplest vows that ever have been heard Best friends first, and everything else after Maria, you're my healing, you're my laughter [Verse 3] Now you're out there tending to your garden rows Planting seeds and watching how it grows That's the way you love me, slow and sure Gentle hands that make the broken pure I'll stand guard, Maria, every night You'll be the peace that makes the dark feel light [Chorus] Here's to starting over, here's to finding home Here's to never having to walk alone Through the battles and the broken roads we've known Love came and said, you don't have to fight on your own [Outro] Two worn-out hearts don't hurt no more Maria, you're what I was looking for
