The Dollar You Kept

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Half a world away from home Desert wind and shifting sand Two strangers in a foreign land Found something no one else could see I made a promise I would keep To bring you home across the sea [Chorus] Oh Gina, my forever, my true Six long years I waited for you A dollar in my pocket, a ring and a prayer You wrote our date, you carried it there I never thought that love could be so real But you're the truest thing I'll ever feel [Verse 2] Minnesota vows, then down the road North Dakota calling low We loaded up the truck and drove To Killdeer where we made our stand Ten years now and it feels new Every morning I still reach for you [Chorus] Oh Gina, my forever, my true All of my roads led me to you A dollar in my pocket, a ring and a prayer You wrote our date, you carried it there I never thought that love could be so real But you're the truest thing I'll ever feel [Bridge] You said when my last day comes You'll take my hand and follow me home Up to heaven, side by side Two hearts that time could never divide [Verse 3] From the oilfields to the sky I'll love you till the day I die Every mile and every year Only proved what brought us here So here's to us, this life we've grown The greatest gift I've ever known [Chorus] Oh Gina, my forever, my true Every heartbeat beats for you A dollar in my pocket, a ring and a prayer You wrote our date, you carried it there I never thought that love could be so real But you're the truest thing I'll ever feel [Outro] Oh Gina, still like it's brand new Forever mine, forever true
