JERROLD STEVEN ROOT

[Verse 1]
There's a moment when you meet someone
And it feels like you've known them all along
A double take across a crowded room
A spirit you can't help but be drawn to
Life was tangled, the timing wasn't right
But friendship found its way into the light

[Chorus]
Three hundred miles of highway in between
Two kids, a dog, and everything we'd dream
Back and forth we drove to find our way
Building something stronger every day
Love don't measure distance, love just grows
Down every winding country road

[Verse 2]
June of '90 we became a family
Four hearts learning what forever means
Through the joy and through the tears we lost
We held each other no matter the cost
Then heaven sent us Ashley Noelle
And taught us love that words could never tell

[Chorus]
Three hundred miles of highway in between
Two kids, a dog, and everything we'd dream
Back and forth we drove to find our way
Building something stronger every day
Love don't measure distance, love just grows
Down every winding country road

[Bridge]
August '95, I finally said I do
Though my heart had always belonged to you
Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Root
Best friend, my lover, my truth

[Verse 3]
Your smile still moves me like the very first time
Your touch can heal this weary heart of mine
The way you cry when heroes get their due
The way our children learned their strength from you
Through this pain-filled road, you've stayed right here
My Jerry, my forever, my dear

[Chorus]
Three hundred miles couldn't keep us apart
One soul, one heart, one brand new start
You're the reason that I carry on
Jerry, you're my home, my song
Love don't measure distance, love just grows
Down every winding country road

[Outro]
There is no me without you by my side
One heart, one soul, eternally tied
