Ernie

[Verse 1]
Some folks talk a real good game,
But their heart don't match the words they say.
You never had to prove a thing,
Just gave your all in a quiet way.
The shirt right off your back you'd share,
No judgment, only open arms and care.

[Chorus]
Oh Ernie, you're the steady kind,
The gentle soul, the peaceful mind.
You make us laugh, you make us strong,
The place where all of us belong.
Through all the years, through thick and thin,
My best friend and my everything.

[Verse 2]
The open road, the engine hum,
You ride like all your troubles come undone.
A table full of family,
Some Mexican and easy company.
You keep the peace, you calm the storm,
You make a stranger feel right at home.

[Chorus]
Oh Ernie, you're the steady kind,
The gentle soul, the peaceful mind.
You make us laugh, you make us strong,
The place where all of us belong.
Through all the years, through thick and thin,
My best friend and my everything.

[Bridge]
So here's to all the days we've known,
And every seed of love we've grown.
Grateful for the life we share —
The joy, the strength, the answered prayer.

[Verse 3]
No one gives the way you give,
You show us all how good it is to live.
And after every mile we ride,
I'm thankful you are by my side.
So happy anniversary, my dear,
I'd choose you every single year.

[Chorus]
Oh Ernie, you're the steady kind,
The gentle soul, the peaceful mind.
You make us laugh, you make us strong,
The place where all of us belong.

[Outro]
Through all the years, through thick and thin,
My best friend and my everything.
