I met you when the chips were down, moving to Canal Road
We didn't have a roof above, just carrying the load
Riding our bikes all over town, just trying to survive
But even in the hardest days, you kept my hope alive
ChorusJoseph, you’re the strong one, with a hardworking hand
You carried us through the struggle, now look at where we stand
I appreciate the love you give, the way you pulled us through
From nothing to a beautiful life, I owe it all to you
Verse 2Now there’s a truck parked in the drive, a place to call our own
We traded in those bicycles for the comfort of a home
Tyranee and Bama are running in the yard
It’s crazy looking back to when the road was just so hard
ChorusJoseph, you’re the strong one, with a hardworking hand
You carried us through the struggle, now look at where we stand
I appreciate the love you give, the way you pulled us through
From nothing to a beautiful life, I owe it all to you
BridgeYou never let me give up, you always held the line
My loving, faithful fiancé, I'm so glad that you're mine
We built this family from the ground, out of the dust and dirt
You are my rock, you are my heart, for all that it is worth
Final ChorusJoseph, you’re the strong one, with a hardworking hand
You carried us through the struggle, now look at where we stand
I appreciate the love you give, the way you pulled us through
From nothing to a beautiful life, I owe it all to you
Yeah, from Canal Road to our very own home, I owe it all to you
