Worth Every Mile and Wait

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a dirt road where the willows lean Where the fields roll out in gold and green A summer sky that wouldn't end And a breeze that felt just like a friend Two young hearts on a pasture fence A first love that still makes perfect sense [Chorus] Happy birthday, Judy, here's to 54 I love you more than the day before You're my first love, my soul mate Worth every mile and every wait When I'm weary, on the brink Lord, she's my missing link [Verse 2] I gave you your first motorcycle ride Your arms wrapped tight, the wind outside That squeaky voice rang through the air Laughing with the sun in your hair Now we saddle up when mornings shine Your love of horses, your hand in mine [Chorus] Happy birthday, Judy, here's to 54 I love you more than the day before You're my first love, my soul mate Worth every mile and every wait When I'm weary, on the brink Lord, she's my missing link [Bridge] We've stumbled and we've found our way Forgiven more than words can say You kept your faith in God and us When mine ran thin, you gave me trust [Verse 3] I've watched you love your children well A good soul, anyone can tell Decades passed and still we stand Two first loves, the same two hands I want to grow old on this land Under country skies, just as we planned [Chorus] Happy birthday, Judy, here's to 54 I'll love you more than the day before You're my first love, my soul mate Worth every mile and every wait When I'm weary, on the brink Lord, she's my missing link [Outro] So ride with me to the setting sun Two first loves forever one Lord, grant us peace that never ends My missing link, my love, my friend
