What I Want in Life

[Verse] Somebody asked me what I wanted in life, Sittin' on the porch with my old pocketknife. Took a minute, gazed out at the sky, Gave ‘em a smile and a twinkle in my eye. [Verse 2] I want a good woman to stand by my side, Through the peaks and valleys, life's bumpy ride. Someone to share laughter, sunshine and rain, A soft, steady hand through joy and pain. [Chorus] Gimme that love, where the stars align, A partner for life, a bond that binds. We'll dance through the good times, hold on in the strife, Yeah, that's what I want in this journey called life. [Verse 3] When the crops are bountiful, or the harvest’s thin, She’ll be my anchor, my next of kin. We'll build a home with our dreams and might, Light up our days and warm our nights. [Verse 4] In a small-town chapel, with vows exchanged, She'll be my world while the seasons change. Holding her close 'neath the moon’s silver beam, Real love is my heart’s only true dream. [Chorus] Gimme that love, where the stars align, A partner for life, a bond that binds. We'll dance through the good times, hold on in the strife, Yeah, that's what I want in this journey called life.
