A Long And Happy Life

I was born to a family of jokers

Gamblers and smokers

Living on the line

I was raised by strong headed women

Men who tested limits

And did a little time

And it ain't a mystery, you fell for me

We're just two lost souls

Trying to find our peace

Love like ours ain't a masterpiece

It's a good day in the sun

I was born to love you

Out where the water is wide

Make me your country bride

You'll be my prince of tides

You were born to heal me

Under a velvet sky

Cat tails dancing in the light

We were born to live a long and happy life

A happy life (Life)

Yeah, folks like us may lie down in darkness

But we don’t lose our sparks

We bring back a good story to tell

'Cause we grew up around beauty

Sunset's better than a movie

We knew it was our point of duty

To love like the world might end

And to toast to good nights with friends

I was born to love you

Out where the water is wide

Make me your country bride

You'll be my prince of tides

You were born to heal me

Under a velvet sky

Cat tails dancing in the light

We were born to live a long and happy life

A happy life (Life)

Hey, a happy life

And it comes to me in waves

Like the shores of Palmetto Bay

Knowing I'm so lucky

Your broken heart could love me

I was born to love you

Out where the water is wide

Make me your country bride

You'll be my prince of tides

You were born to heal me (Heal me)

Under a velvet sky

Cat tails dancing in the light

We were born to live a long and happy life

Happy life

Hey, a happy life

Happy life
