A simple mind and two strong working hands
 But at the time I thought my feet were planted
 You came along and uprooted this simple man
 A strong-willed woman with every chance to show it
 But I didn't mind 'cause you made my life worthwhile
 A beautiful woman with every reason to know it
 You liked my courage and honey I sure liked your style

 A country boy and city girl makin' life in this old world
 We went against the grain and against all odds
 It don't matter what they say, I'm gonna love you anyway
 And time won't undo what you've gone and done to my heart

 I always thought we'd stay together
 And I still think about you from time to time
 But I should have known nothing lasts forever
 But I'd never be the one to say goodbye

 And I remember

 A country boy and city girl makin' life in this old world
 We went against the grain and against all odds
 It don't matter what they say, I'm gonna love you anyway
 And time won't undo what you've gone and done to my heart
