Arturo

[Verse 1]
There's a long road out past the county line
Where the mile markers blur and the years unwind
I drove it alone through the dust and the rain
With a prayer on the dash and a hope I couldn't name
Never knew you were rolling down a road just like mine

[Chorus]
We spent most of our lives on different highways
Then heaven took the wheel and turned us down the same way
Happy birthday, baby, light the candles, let them shine
The future's looking bright since your road turned into mine

[Verse 2]
Arturo, you were steady as an old oak tree
With a gentle kind of strength and a faith that set me free
Now there's family 'round the table and laughter in the air
And I thank the Lord above for the life we get to share

[Chorus]
We spent most of our lives on different highways
Then heaven took the wheel and turned us down the same way
Happy birthday, baby, light the candles, let them shine
The future's looking bright since your road turned into mine

[Bridge]
Arturo, Arturo, I could sing it all night long
Took a lifetime to find you, but the waiting made us strong
Every door that closed, every long and lonely mile
Was the good Lord leading me straight into your smile

[Verse 3]
So here's to all the birthdays we've still got left to see
Porch light in the evening, your hand holding me
After all these years, love, I'd do it all again
Every lonesome mile was worth it just to reach you in the end

[Chorus]
We spent most of our lives on different highways
Then heaven took the wheel and turned us down the same way
Happy birthday, Arturo, light the candles, let them shine
The future's looking bright since your road turned into mine

[Outro]
The rest of the journey, the rest of our days
Side by side, love, on the same highway
