[Verse 1]
F A# F
I was born to a family of jokers

Men who tested limits and did a little time

Out where the water is wide

Make me your country bride

We may lie down in darkness
A# F C
But we don't lose our sparks; we bring back a good story to tell

Cause we grew up around beauty

Sunsets better than a movie

We knew it was our appointed duty to love like the world might end
And to toast to good nights with friends
