God and My Wife
Brenn Hill (Red Cliffs Press MusicBMI)

Verse 1:
Time was I couldn't find the highway
To bring her home a paycheck from a bar
For the alcohol still streamin' through my blood
Singin' and pickin' on this old beat-up guitar

Verse 2:
Lyin' to the man inside the mirror
Cheatin' death and chasin' selfish dreams
The longer that I live it just gets clearer and clearer
I'm the broken link that's somewhere in between

Chorus:
God and my wife they are raisin' good children
They look like me a little but they're not like me at all
They are patient and kind and not restless and unsettled
For the things that they believe in they stand up straight and tall
While I resolve to try to rise again
Grateful to my wife and God for raisin' good children

Verse 3:
Some days I run the straight and narrow
Some days I barely stumble on
I'm a sinner from my hair down to my marrow
The slow man on the team fumblin' the baton

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
Blessed so far beyond what I deserve
Slow and unrefined and weak of heart
Only God knows how much I love her
Only they know how I always fall apart

Final Chorus
