Gary

Back in twenty-ten, when our story began

You’d drive so many miles for one night just to hold my hand

We’d slide across the bench seat, sitting close enough to touch

Falling in love in Papa's old red truck

You always had a joke that could make me smile

And you made every single highway mile worthwhile

Gary, you’re the strongest man I know

A hard-working hunter with a heart of solid gold

Three kids together, then four more made us whole

You've always been the steady anchor to my soul

If I had to live this life all over, line by line

I would pick you, Gary, every single time

Do you remember all those late-night games of darts?

Throwing at the board while you were aiming for my heart

We’d put our favorite songs on and sway across the floor

Just slow dancing alone behind a closed door

We used to say "I love you" a thousand times a day

And after all these years, I feel the exact same way

Gary, you’re the strongest man I know

A hard-working hunter with a heart of solid gold

Three kids together, then four more made us whole

You've always been the steady anchor to my soul

If I had to live this life all over, line by line

I would pick you, Gary, every single time

It hasn't only been sunshine, we've had to face the dark

When my brother passed away, you held my breaking heart

And when you lost your dad, I was right there by your side

Through the deepest kind of grief, we were each other's guide

We leaned upon each other when the tears began to fall

That’s how I know our love can weather it all

Gary, you’re the strongest man I know

A hard-working hunter with a heart of solid gold

Three kids together, then four more made us whole

You've always been the steady anchor to my soul

If I had to live this life all over, line by line

I would pick you, Gary, every single time

Yeah, if I had to do it over, I'd pick you every time
