Her daddy didn't like me much But she brought him around Now we're going on twenty years She ain't let up, she won't slow down Sure as all conviction My calm through every storm The love that keeps me honest When I get too far from home She's steady Oh she's steady Well I wasted all my whiskey Just trying to get somewhere She said why do you keep going When you know damn well you're already there And I don't know why I do it Or why I get this way But there she goes Just giving so much patience She's steady Oh she's steady When everything I know Crumbles all around me She's steady We were kids when I first met her Now our kids are almost grown I can't help but think about Just how soon they'll be moving on And I've been the best father That I know how to be When I fall short She's everything they need She's steady Oh she's steady I've never been perfect And I know I'll never be But when I'm at my worst She sees the best in me She's steady Oh she's steady Oh she's steady God, I know she's steady
