Steady as the Ground

Lyrics

Verse 1
You leave your work coat by the kitchen chair
Set your tired hands down, let the evening air
I know the road has taken more than it should
Still you come home to me, still you do me good

Chorus
This is real love, steady as the ground
Not a pretty promise that blows away with sound
When the days run hard and the years roll through
I keep choosing life, I keep choosing you

Verse 2
We’ve had lean months and a few sharp words
Made peace over coffee while the kettle stirred
You never asked me to be someone new
You held my rough edges like they belonged to you

Chorus
This is real love, steady as the ground
Not a pretty promise that blows away with sound
When the days run hard and the years roll through
I keep choosing life, I keep choosing you

Bridge
If my hands grow slow, if your hair turns gray
I’ll still pull your chair close at the end of the day
No grand parade, no vow to prove
Just your name in my mouth and a heart that won’t move

Guitar Solo

Final Chorus
This is real love, steady as the ground
Not a pretty promise that blows away with sound
When the days run hard and the years roll through
I keep choosing life, I keep choosing you

Outro
I keep choosing you
Every day, I do
