Rodney

We were just friends for a long, long time

Never really thought about crossing that line

But the gauge hit E on that midnight drive

And the engine sputtered out on the side

Sitting in the dark with nowhere to go

Something shifted in the dashboard glow

Running out of gas was the start of it all

That was the night I started to fall

Oh, Rodney, you’re the one who holds my heart

You’ve been my steady rock right from the start

Thank you for the love that you give to me

And for being the father to our boy, Jimmy

You make me laugh until the tears roll down

I’m so glad you’re the one I found

I prayed for a baby for so many years

Through the waiting and the hoping and the quiet tears

Then at thirty-five, my whole world grew

When my biggest dream came true with you

From the very first day, you've been right by his side

Watching you with Jimmy fills me up with pride

You stepped right up to be the dad he needs

And planted all our family seeds

Oh, Rodney, you’re the one who holds my heart

You’ve been my steady rock right from the start

Thank you for the love that you give to me

And for being the father to our boy, Jimmy

You make me laugh until the tears roll down

I’m so glad you’re the one I found

Now I know you find something to bitch about every day

You grumble and complain in your own stubborn way

But you're so hilarious, I just have to smile

Yeah, I think I’m gonna keep you for a long, long while

Oh, Rodney, you’re the one who holds my heart

You’ve been my steady rock right from the start

Thank you for the love that you give to me

And for being the father to our boy, Jimmy

You make me laugh until the tears roll down

I’m so glad you’re the one I found

Yeah, that empty gas tank changed my life

With you and Jimmy right here by my side
