I'm not the kind to take things for granted 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
