A Long and Happy Life

I was born to a family of jokers Gamblers and smokers living on the line I was raised by strong-headed women Men who tested limits and did a little time And it ain't a mystery you fell for me We're just two lost souls trying to find our peace Love like ours ain't a masterpiece It's a good day in the sun I was born to love you Out where the water is wide Make me your country bride You'll be my prince of tides You were born to heal me Under a velvet sky Cattails dancing in the light We were born to live a long and happy life A happy life Yeah, folks like us We may lie down in darkness But we don't lose our sparks we bring back a good story to tell 'Cause we grew up around beauty Sunsets better than a movie We knew it was our appointed duty to love like the world might end And to toast to good nights with friends I was born to love you Out where the water is wide Make me your country bride You'll be my prince of tides You were born to heal me Under a velvet sky Cattails dancing in the light We were born to live a long and happy life A happy life Hey, a happy life And it comes to me in waves Like the shores of Palmetto Bay Knowing I'm so lucky Your broken heart could love me I was born to love you Out where the water is wide Make me your country bride You'll be my prince of tides You were born to heal me Under a velvet sky Cattails dancing in the light We were born to live a long and happy life A happy life Hey, a happy life Happy life
