Dwaine

[Verse 1]
Some love comes easy, some love takes a while
Some love keeps knocking with a stubborn smile
We tried it twice, and twice it didn't last
Then you saw me with another and decided, not so fast
Dwaine, you wore me down with laughter, said you'd never walk away
And Lord, I'm glad you stayed

[Chorus]
You're my safe place, my porch light in the rain
The first arms I ever knew that never brought me pain
I set down all I carried, every heavy, hidden thing
Now I'm finally happy, and my heart has learned to sing

[Verse 2]
You served this country proud, stood tall when duty called
But it's your giving, joyful heart I love the most of all
You raised my kids beside me like they'd always been your own
Now there's critters, noise, and laughter filling up our home

[Chorus]
You're my safe place, my porch light in the rain
The first arms I ever knew that never brought me pain
I set down all I carried, every heavy, hidden thing
Now I'm finally happy, and my heart has learned to sing

[Bridge]
That old RV on our honeymoon, the highway and the sky
I saw the sunset on your face, and old fears passed me by
Just you, me, and the road ahead

[Verse 3]
I carried storms from childhood no one ever saw
Built my walls so high I swore they'd never fall
But your patience was a quiet courage, steady, true
And one by one they tumbled down, Dwaine, because of you

[Chorus]
Six years, you're still my safe place, my porch light in the rain
The first arms I ever knew that never brought me pain
I set down all I carried, every heavy, hidden thing
Now I'm finally happy, and my heart has learned to sing

[Outro]
Six years your wife, seven years your girl
You'll always be my safe place in this world
