Murphy

[Verse 1]
There's a porch light on a quiet road
Where the evening settles slow
And a rocking chair that creaks in time
With a love I've always known
You came home from Vietnam
With a soldier's steady hand

[Chorus]
You were strong, you were brave
You took care of us all our days
Now I'll hold the memories
That the years have washed away
Murphy, you're my hero still
And I'm here, I always will

[Verse 2]
You'd stop to help a stranger
Fix a fence or change a tire
Never asked for any thanks
Just a coffee by the fire
Our children learned what courage was
By the way you'd always stand

[Chorus]
You were strong, you were brave
You took care of us all our days
Now I'll hold the memories
That the years have washed away
Murphy, you're my hero still
And I'm here, I always will

[Bridge]
When you look at me like someone new
I'll introduce myself again
I'll tell you how you won my heart
And I'll fall for you right then

[Verse 3]
Some days the fog rolls in so deep
And your eyes search for a name
But your hand still finds my hand
And your heart still feels the same
I made a promise long ago
And I'll keep it to the end

[Chorus]
You were strong, you were brave
You took care of us all our days
Now it's my turn to carry you
Through the light and through the haze
Murphy, you're my hero still
And I'm here, I always will

[Outro]
When the memories slip away
I'll remember them for two
Murphy, I'll stay right by your side
'Cause my heart belongs to you
