Stephan

[Verse 1]
June the first, from Daddy's hospital bed
Stopped at Awful Arthur's to clear my head
We stayed till every bar downtown
Turned out the lights and shut it down
Then I took you up to see my dad
He knew you, and his eyes were glad

[Chorus]
You loved me then, you love me still
Through every valley, every hill
Peace in your arms, joy in your eyes
Thirty-one years of you by my side
Everything you do, you do for me
Stephan, you're where I'm meant to be

[Verse 2]
Fourth of July, you and your son
Flew to Phoenix the Valley of the sun
You met my people, shook their hands
Grand Canyon red and desert sand
Two weeks later you flew me home
Mid July, you made me your own
Daddy said, with a tired grin
You finally found a keeper in him

[Chorus]
You loved me then, you love me still
Through every valley, every hill
Peace in your arms, joy in your eyes
Thirty-one years of you by my side
Everything you do, you do for me
Stephan, you're where I'm meant to be

[Bridge]
Back to Roanoke, I never planned
Mom, kids, two dogs and a cat
Daddy asked the nurses every day
What's the date, she's on her way
He held on till August eighth came true
Then let go, knowing I was safe with you

[Verse 3]
November eleventh, '95
I gave you all my life
Then Ramrod Key in the noonday heat
A hidden beach, sand at our feet
No one around, we didn't care
Just you and me and the salt sea air

[Chorus]
You loved me then, you love me still
Through every valley, every hill
Peace in your arms, joy in your eyes
Thirty-one years of you by my side
Everything you do, you do for me
Stephan, you're where I'm meant to be

[Outro]
My Boobiehead, I'd choose again
My love, my home, my Stephan
