Matt

I was eighteen years old, walking through a friend's front door

Wearing my cowgirl boots, stepping cross the floor

You took one look at me, and you didn't hesitate

Said, "I'm gonna marry that woman," and sealed up our fate

You're a hard-working man who'd give the shirt right off his back

A little bit sarcastic, but there's nothing that you lack

You're my rock and my sidekick, my fishing partner too

God definitely blessed me when He gave me you

Thirty-one years together, and the story’s still unfolding

My Mat Man, you're the only hand I'm holding

I still remember the concert, the music playing loud

You got down on one knee before a thousand-person crowd

I was so embarrassed, blushing red under the lights

But of course I said yes, and it changed my whole life

You're a hard-working man who'd give the shirt right off his back

A little bit sarcastic, but there's nothing that you lack

You're my rock and my sidekick, my fishing partner too

God definitely blessed me when He gave me you

Thirty-one years together, and the story’s still unfolding

My Mat Man, you're the only hand I'm holding

A good father to our family, a great grandfather too

You try to care for everyone, that's just the man in you

When you call me "Baby Girl," I know I'm safe and sound

I couldn't ask for a better soul to have around

You've always been my savior when the waters got too rough

Through every single season, your love has been enough

So cast another line with me, and watch the sun descend

I will love you, always and forever, to the end

Cause you're a hard-working man who'd give the shirt right off his back

A little bit sarcastic, but there's nothing that you lack

You're my rock and my sidekick, my fishing partner too

God definitely blessed me when He gave me you

Thirty-one years together, and the story’s still unfolding

My Mat Man, I love you, you're the only hand I'm holding
