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

Cattails dancing in the light

We were born to live a long and happy life

A happy life

Yeah folks like us

We 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

Sunsets better than a movie

We knew it was our appointed 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

Cattails dancing in the light

We were born to live a long and happy life

A happy 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

Under a velvet sky

Cattails dancing in the light

We were born to live a long and happy life

A happy life

Hey a happy life

Happy life
