Good Life

about

This is my Grandparents' love story. They met in high school, my grandma had to walk across the floor of an empty gym...except my grandpa and his friend watched from the bleachers. After she walked past my grandpa said, 'that's the girl I'm going to marry.' And they did...on friday the 13th years later. He carried $13 in his wallet till the day he died, always said it was lucky. Simple life with an extraordinary love.

lyrics

i was 16 years old and in a red dress
when you first saw me walk across the gym floor
I felt your eyes on me l must confess
i'd never burned like that before

we knew our love was lucky
so we got married on friday the 13th
in the stone church in bloomfield ky
all dressed up I felt like your queen


and we dont' live like they do in the magazines
but your a good man
and i'm a good wife
and its a good life

You wanted to fight for what you believed in
They said "We're sorry but we can't use you son"
your weak lungs stopped you from leaving
but that day I felt a different war was won

we never got to go to paris
there is always debt to pay on the farm/land
but our children saw the world for us
and sent postcards from Rome to the rio grand


and we dont' live like they do in the magazines
but your a good man
and i'm a good wife
and its a good life

you were in that hospital bed
you were calling out my name
the last words that you said to me
"i love you dearly"
you were a good man
i was a good wife
