John Carnahan

[Verse 1]
There's a jukebox glowing in my memory
Neon light across a wooden floor
Fiddles and a steel guitar were crying
Louisiana, 1980,
A cowboy grin came walking through the door

[Chorus]
And we two-stepped into forever
Spun around beneath the dance hall lights
You took my hand and never let it go
Through the long days and the longer nights
Lord knew what He was doing
When He sent you dancing my way that night

[Verse 2]
Two months in, you asked me for forever
Said come to Texas, darlin', be my bride
I packed my whole life in a suitcase
And rode the highway west by your side
In 1981 we stood before the Lord
John Carnahan, you filled my heart with pride

[Chorus]
And we two-stepped into forever
Spun around beneath the dance hall lights
You took my hand and never let it go
Through the long days and the longer nights
Lord knew what He was doing
When He sent you dancing my way that night

[Bridge]
Then came babies, then came grandbabies
Little arms that call you PawPaw now
Every storm we weathered, you stood steady
Faith and strength, you always showed us how

[Verse 3]
Now the years have silvered both our temples
And I treasure every mile we've come
A loving husband, a gentle father
The finest PawPaw, John, beneath the sun
Take me back to that old dance floor
I'd still say yes to you, my only one

[Chorus]
And we're still two-stepping through forever
Spinning underneath the Texas lights
You've held my hand and never let it go
Through the long days and the longer nights
Lord knew what He was doing
When He sent you dancing my way that night

[Outro]
So hold me close, cowboy, one more song
John, I'm yours, I've been yours all along
