Carol Jean

[Verse 1]
Kansas City lights were low that night,
Smoke and neon, a jukebox tune,
I wasn't looking for a thing that shined,
But fate walked in that crowded room.
You tell them all that I'm the one who saved you,
But darling, you saved me too.

[Chorus]
Carol Jean, my whole life through,
Every road has led to you,
Through the years we've laughed and cried,
You've stayed right here by my side.
All these years and still it's true —
There's nobody I'd rather love than you.

[Verse 2]
We went home, then weeks went by,
I called, you said you had to run,
I nearly let that whole thing die,
Thought maybe our story was done.
But a good friend told me, "Call her one more time,"
So I did, and the rest was ours.

[Chorus]
Carol Jean, my whole life through,
Every road has led to you,
Through the years we've laughed and cried,
You've stayed right here by my side.
All these years and still it's true —
There's nobody I'd rather love than you.

[Bridge]
Seven months and I made you mine,
A hasty wager on borrowed time,
But the caring heart that I found in you
Is the truest thing I ever knew.

[Verse 3]
So thoughtful in the little things,
The way you love without a doubt,
You gave my ordinary days their wings,
The kind of grace I can't live without.
Every memory we've made along the way
Is a song I'll always play.

[Chorus]
Carol Jean, my whole life through,
Every road has led to you,
Through the years we've laughed and cried,
You've stayed right here by my side.
All these years and still it's true —
There's nobody I'd rather love than you.

[Outro]
Carol Jean, my one, my own,
The sweetest home I've ever known.
