Vern

[Verse 1]
Dust on the dashboard, a radio song
Back roads that wander where the pines grow long
Some folks go looking their whole life through
Twenty-one years ago I found you
Through the hard days and the in-between
You've been the steadiest thing I've seen

[Chorus]
You work hard and you love hard too
No matter what this life puts us through
You're the man I want standing next to me
My person, my whole heart, my family
And I can kiss you anytime I want to

[Verse 2]
When we lost Mama, then Daddy too
I couldn't stand, but I leaned on you
You held me up through the longest nights
Your quiet courage became my light
Now concerts, campfires, a fishing line
Laughing through the woods, your hand in mine

[Chorus]
You work hard and you love hard too
No matter what this life puts us through
You're the man I want standing next to me
My person, my whole heart, my family
And I can kiss you anytime I want to

[Bridge]
Three boys watching how a good man stands
Learning love from their daddy's hands
Vern, you gave them more than you'll ever know
You gave this family a place called home

[Verse 3]
Here's to the road we're still rolling on
Twenty-one years and our love's still strong
My husband, my comfort, my very best friend
Come what may, I'd do it all again

[Chorus]
You work hard and you love hard too
No matter what this life puts us through
You're the man I want standing next to me
Vern, my person, my whole heart, my family
And I can kiss you anytime I want to

[Outro]
Twenty-one years, and we're just getting started
You're my person, Vern, my whole heart
