Two Kids, Empty Pockets

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Friday nights and headlights, young and free, Cruising cross the town with company, A boy with his cousin followed close behind, Pulled into a McDonalds, changed my life. Two green eyes and dark hair caught my stare, And somehow I just knew that he'd be there. [Chorus] Oh Stuart, we built it out of nothing but love, Two kids with empty pockets, blessed from above, Forty-five years married, and I'd do it again, You've been my home, my always, my friend. [Verse 2] We grew up fast with Ginger in our arms, Then Brian, and years later, Levi came, You carried us through every lean, hard year, Worked so I could chase a college dream. After thirty years we welcomed Blane, Maw Maw, Paw Paw, our sweetest name. [Chorus] Oh Stuart, we built it out of nothing but love, Two kids with empty pockets, blessed from above, Forty-five years married, and I'd do it again, You've been my home, my always, my friend. [Bridge] From broke to a life we never feared, A gray beard now, but you're the boy I cheered. Sweet dog dad who loved our Jasper so, Now Ruby and Pearl won't let you go. [Verse 3] I tricked you on a plane, you held my hand, To Montana's wide and open promised land, Yellowstone, the moose too close for you, You feared for me while I just laughed it through. Forty-eight years of building, come what may, I'd choose you all over again today. [Chorus] Oh Stuart, we built it out of nothing but love, Two kids with empty pockets, blessed from above, Forty-five years married, and I'd do it again, You've been my home, my always, my friend. [Outro] From a McDonalds lot to all we've grown, My love, my life, my forever home.
