Billy

[Verse 1]
Downtown church, a singles crowd
A red jumpsuit standing proud
Blue eyes shining at the bar
Little did I know how far
We would go, hand in hand
With my sweet Texas man

[Chorus]
Oh Billy, you call me darlin' still
After all this time, you always will
Thirty-six years and love this true
There's nobody else I'd choose but you
Better the fifth time around, it's true
Billy, my whole heart beats for you

[Verse 2]
That deep Texas drawl so sweet
When our families chanced to meet
We were surprised that day to find
They already knew our kind
You hand a dollar, hold it tight
And laugh until their eyes go bright

[Chorus]
Oh Billy, you call me darlin' still
After all this time, you always will
Thirty-six years and love this true
There's nobody else I'd choose but you
Better the fifth time around, it's true
Billy, my whole heart beats for you

[Bridge]
You jumped that lake to save our girls
Through desert storms and shifting worlds
From Texas dirt to Ecuador
Our wild adventure asks for more

[Verse 3]
Your chili wins without a bean
Best grilled steak I've ever seen
Hot sauce in your leather case
A candy smile for every face
Robin, Justin, Scott and Doug
Grandkids wrapped in all our love

[Chorus]
Oh Billy, you call me darlin' still
After all this time, you always will
Thirty-six years and love this true
There's nobody else I'd choose but you
Better the fifth time around, it's true
Billy, my whole heart beats for you

[Outro]
So here's to us and years ahead
To every word of love we've said
My Texas honey, tried and true
Happy anniversary, I love you
