Mike

It started back in Brownsburg, nineteen seventy-three

We met inside of Galyans, and you smiled right at me

By nineteen seventy-five, I became your loving wife

And we started building up this beautiful life

You're a patient, hard-working, and kind-hearted man

Putting everybody first since our story began

So let's take a weekend trip down a two-lane highway

Cruising down Route 66, taking time our way

With Lucille or Kix parked under the fading light

Always give me a hug, Mike, and kiss me goodnight

You are my best friend, my one and only love

Thank you for fifty-one years of blessings from above

We raised Kristin and Karie, watched the family tree grow

Now there's so much joy everywhere that we go

Ellie, Gracie, Halle, and Kenzie make us smile

While Rylee, Cole, and Aspen make every mile worthwhile

And sweet Miss Sadie Ann brings a tear to your eyes

You're the best Dad, PopPop, and Pops under the skies

So let's take a weekend trip down a two-lane highway

Cruising down Route 66, taking time our way

With Lucille or Kix parked under the fading light

Always give me a hug, Mike, and kiss me goodnight

You are my best friend, my one and only love

Thank you for fifty-one years of blessings from above

When January rolls around, we head to Quartzsite, AZ

Boondocking in the winter, just as free as can be

Finding antiques in those old towns of days gone by

Sharing a roadside picnic as the world rushes by

I don't just love you, darling, I really like you too

Forever and always, it's just me and you

So let's take a weekend trip down a two-lane highway

Cruising down Route 66, taking time our way

With Lucille or Kix parked under the fading light

Always give me a hug, Mike, and kiss me goodnight

It's just you and me, my one and only love

Thanks for the best fifty-one years I could ever dream of
