She puts her housecoat on as she starts a brand new day
And gives thanks to Lord above for the sun on her face
Cause its cold outside and the winter there's been long
But that big yellow ball in the sky's got her singing her song

She's got three grown children and a husband there at home
They retired in the country and they love being on their own
They sit out on the porch in the summer nights and talk
Its been 42 year and when they hold hands they still feel that spark

Chorus
And love has gotten them this far
And love will take em on home
And they have every thing they could need
Right there in each others arms
A love that's rooted deep
In my mama and daddies country heart

It was 1969 when their eyes first met
They were 16 years of age when their hearts were set
On a life long love that would have its shares of trials
But at the end of the day they would go to bed with a smile

Chorus

Bridge
And life goes by so fast
So hold on to something that will last
It might not be easy
It might be hard
But with out love we'd be torn apart
That's why I'm grateful for my mama and daddies country heart
