[Verse 1]
G C G
I was born to a family of jokers
C G D
Gamblers and smokers living on the line
G C G
I was raised by strong-headed women
C G D
Men who tested limits and did a little time
[Pre-chorus]
C G
And it ain't a mystery you fell for me
D G
We're just two lost souls trying to find our peace
C G
Love like ours ain't a masterpiece
D
It's a good day in the sun
[Chorus]
G
I was born to love you
C G
Out where the water is wide
C G
Make me your country bride
D
You'll be my prince of tides
G
You were born to heal me
C G
Under a velvet sky
C G
Cattails dancing in the light
D G C G
We were born to live a long and happy life
G D
B happy life
[Verse 2]
G
Yeah, folks like us
C G
We may lie down in darkness
C G D
But we don't lose our sparks; we bring back a good story to tell
G
Cause we grew up around beauty
C G
Sunsets better than a movie
C G D
We knew it was our appointed duty to love like the world might end
And to toast to good nights with friends
[Chorus]
G
I was born to love you
C G
Out where the water is wide

Make me your country bride

[Bridge]
G C G
And it comes to me in waves
C G
Like the shores of Palmetto Bay
C D
Knowing I'm so lucky
C D
Your broken heart could love me
[Chorus]

I was born to love you
C G
Out where the water is wide
