Lyrics
1st Verse
Life is like a journey, sometimes we lose our way
And we may find tomorrow is harder than today
But I can bear the sorrow, and I can stand the pain
I'll treasure days of sunshine, and never curse the rain
2nd Verse
I married my sweet darlin' when I was just nineteen
We raised the kids, we worked so hard, we tried to live our dream
Now when I hold my grandson, I never would have guessed
Way back then that some day, I would be so blessed
Chorus
We saddled up together when she became my bride
We crossed the hills and mountains, and faith has been our guide
Now when the years have caught us, she'll still be by my side
We'll ride into the sunset and cross that great divide
Bridge
We'll cherish all the best times, we'll overcome the worst
We'll live our dreams together, we'll put each other first
Repeat chorus
