Connie

Connie, you never were one to bite your tongue

You speak your mind and tell it straight to anyone

You’ve got a humor that can cut right through the gray

But it's your loyal heart that always leads the way

You stand beside me, whether I’m right or wrong

That’s why I’m putting all this truth into a song

Oh, Sossy, you stepped up when I couldn't be there

You wrapped my kids and grandbabies in your care

When I had to go away, you took my place

You held the line with a fierce and steady grace

I love you mostest, more than words can say

Forever and always, from your Booger Faye

There were times the road got heavy and I had to leave

But you gave my family a reason to believe

You never turned your back on them, or turned your back on me

You were the roots that held together our family tree

You've always got my back, no matter what I do

I don't know where I'd be if I didn't have you

Oh, Sossy, you stepped up when I couldn't be there

You wrapped my kids and grandbabies in your care

When I had to go away, you took my place

You held the line with a fierce and steady grace

I love you mostest, more than words can say

Forever and always, from your Booger Faye

We share the memories, the laughter and the tears

You’ve been my anchor through the hardest of the years

I needed you the most, and you didn't hesitate

You stepped right up to the plate and carried the weight

Oh, Sossy, you stepped up when I couldn't be there

You wrapped my kids and grandbabies in your care

When I had to go away, you took my place

You held the line with a fierce and steady grace

I love you mostest, more than words can say

Forever and always, from your Booger Faye
