Jim

[Verse 1]
Back porch light and a summer sky
Coffee cups and the years rolled by
Two hearts climbing the same steep hill
Since '97, we're climbing still
Jim, you've been my home, my pride

[Chorus]
Here's to sixty, raise a glass
It's just a number, let it pass
You speak your mind and you stand your ground
For every voice that can't make a sound
Happy birthday to the man I'm proud to call mine

[Verse 2]
A teacher's heart, a lawman's will
Dogs at our feet through good and ill
They say at sixty you slow down, sit back
You grin and say, "I don't know about that."

[Chorus]
Here's to sixty, raise a glass
It's just a number, let it pass
You speak your mind and you stand your ground
For every voice that can't make a sound
Happy birthday to the man I'm proud to call mine

[Bridge]
It wasn't easy bein' who we are
We hid the light and we hid the scars
Now we stand tall under red, white and blue
I'm proud of us, and I'm proud of you

[Verse 3]
Thirty years is just around the bend
My husband, my partner, my best friend
An RV road with retirement near
Jim, I'll ride with you year after year

[Chorus]
Here's to sixty, raise a glass
It's just a number, let it pass
You speak your mind and you stand your ground
For every voice that can't make a sound
Happy birthday to the man I'm proud to call mine

[Outro]
Happy birthday, Jim, my love
Thank you for the life we're dreamin' of
