Chad

I still remember that very first day

Sun beating down in a summer haze

You were out riding that mower, covered in dirt

Sweat pouring down your old t-shirt

I looked at you working, wiping your face

And right then and there, everything fell in place

Yeah, you were a mess, but I knew from the start

That hardworking boy was gonna capture my heart

Oh, Chad, you’re the laughter when the days get long

With your quick wit always keeping us strong

You’re the rock for the kids and the grandkids too

There ain't a thing in this world that we can't do

I know the road is heavy and the skies are gray

But we’re gonna get through this, come what may

Just take my hand and hold on tight

I need you, my love, you gotta keep up the fight

You've always been the one with the witty reply

A joke and a smile and a spark in your eye

You’ve been the steady ground under my feet

Making this family's circle complete

From raising our children to the grandkids now

You always show up, you always know how

Now the tables have turned and it's my turn to be

The one standing tall while you lean on me

Oh, Chad, you’re the laughter when the days get long

With your quick wit always keeping us strong

You’re the rock for the kids and the grandkids too

There ain't a thing in this world that we can't do

I know the road is heavy and the skies are gray

But we’re gonna get through this, come what may

Just take my hand and hold on tight

I need you, my love, you gotta keep up the fight

I know you're tired, I know it's a test

But don't you dare think about giving up yet

We've weathered the storms and we've cleared out the weeds

You've got a whole family giving you what you need

Oh, Chad, you’re the laughter when the days get long

With your quick wit always keeping us strong

You’re the rock for the kids and the grandkids too

There ain't a thing in this world that we can't do

I know the road is heavy and the skies are gray

But we’re gonna get through this, come what may

Just take my hand and hold on tight

I need you, my love, you gotta keep up the fight
