Red Roof Inn Beginnings

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It started young at Baucoms Two hearts that didn't know How far this road would take us, How steady love could grow. A simple little wedding, A red roof inn, our start— Two kids with nothing certain But faith inside our heart. [Chorus] Oh Michael, thirty-six years strong, You've been my whole life's song. A husband, father, faithful still, A love no time can kill. Through every season, come what may, God kept you here to stay. [Verse 2] Those bluegreen eyes still find me Across a crowded room, A cow-and-farm-loving man Who lets the whole world bloom. You gave and gave and gave again, More than you'll ever know— The way you love this family Is why our roots still grow. [Chorus] Oh Michael, thirty-six years strong, You've been my whole life's song. A husband, father, faithful still, A love no time can kill. Through every season, come what may, God kept you here to stay. [Bridge] We watched the grandbabies come, Little hands that hold your own. "Bapa," they call, and heaven smiles— This is the legacy we've grown. [Verse 3] When the storm came calling We fell down on our knees, And God in all His mercy Answered every plea. So here's to all our tomorrows, To grace that carried through— The greatest gift I ever got Was building life with you. [Chorus] Oh Michael, thirty-six years strong, You've been my whole life's song. A husband, father, faithful still, A love no time can kill. Through every season, come what may, God kept you here to stay. [Outro] You're loved far more than you know, My Michael, my forever, my home.
