Followed Your Taillights Home

just because · 3:47 · October 11, 2026

A love story that began with a simple stop at a gas pump and grew into a lifetime of faith, family, and unwavering devotion. This song honors the woman who became the rock of a blended family, who embraced every role asked of her and gave even more, and whose steady love carried them through heartbreak, hardship, and everyday miracles. It's a tribute to the kind of love that only deepens with time — more today than yesterday, but less than tomorrow.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some roads you drive by accident, Some roads you drive on faith. I'd seen you once at the rodeo, And at work from far away. So I followed your taillights to the pumps, And filled your tank just to say hello. [Chorus] You're the rock that holds us together When the storm beats on the door. You'll step into any role we need, Then turn and give us more. I love you more today then yesterday but less than tomorrow, And Tish, that's what I'm living for. [Verse 2] Your daddy went home to heaven When we'd barely just begun, But I knew, so I said move in with me, Bring your boy, he'll fit with my son. Then God sent us a baby girl, And at 46, one more son. [Chorus] You're the rock that holds us together When the storm beats on the door. You'll step into any role we need, Then turn and give us more. I love you more today then yesterday but less than tomorrow, And Tish, that's what I'm living for. [Bridge] Through the lean years and the hard years, When the bank and the heart ran dry, You laid your own dreams down for us, And swore I'd still touch the sky. [Verse 3] Now a bigger ranch, a young boy's boots, And I'm too long on the road. Dad's in the fight of his life, And you help carry that load. There's a chair we keep for the ones we miss, And you leave the porch light on. [Chorus] You're the rock that holds us together, The strongest mama I know, With faith that never wavers And a love that won't let go. I love you more today then yesterday but less than tomorrow, Tish, that's how my love will grow. [Outro] Mine started at a gas pump, And it led me home to you.
