A Country Heart Can

Most love songs I know are written about things like

Roses and diamonds and gold

A little love story like ours sure ain't the kind

The storybooks told

What we've got, it ain't like the movies

Well, at least none that I've seen

They'd have to go way off a beaten dirt track

To ever set out sane

I love you longer than all the back roads strung

Together one after one

I love you brighter than that burnt orange fire

Right there in that setting down sun

I love you stronger than a thousand wild horses

Pounding across this land

I love you like only a country heart can

Through sickness and health, fires, floods, and drought

We'll go through it all day by day

And we'll never be perfect, but we've learned there's magic

In just letting go of the reins

Would you just look around at this life that we've made

And everything we've got to show?

Our grass is getting more green every day

And I love watching our wildflowers grow

I love you longer than all the back roads strung

Together one after one

I love you brighter than that burnt orange fire

Right there in that setting down sun

I love you stronger than a thousand wild horses

Pounding across this land

I love you like only a country heart can

Without their hands, we're building a dream

And we're always amazed, but if it's up to me

We'll be covered in dirt, 'til we're covered in dirt

Under that old, old tree

I love you longer than all the back roads strung

Together one after one

I love you brighter than that burnt orange fire

Blazing in that setting down sun

I love you stronger than a thousand wild horses

Pounding across this land

I love you like only we understand

Yeah, I love you like only a country heart can
