22 Junes

[Verse 1]
An Orange County boy, been in town a year or two
A ninety-seven summer and a girl he never knew
Just Crown and a hot tub and a wild young spark
Before the road split wide and I walked in the dark
I carried the shadows 'til Allie was small
Then God brought you back to catch us when we fall.
[Chorus]
It’s twenty-two Junes of choosing to stay
Through the heat of the fire, we found a way
It wasn’t our power, but Grace on the line
Twenty-two Junes, and you’re still mine.
[Verse 2]
June of ought-four, the spigot was running
A flower girl playing while the summer was stunning
She dropped all her petals for the water and the spray
While we made a promise on our wedding day
We weren't perfect, we were young and we were wild
But we grew into love, one step and one child.
[Chorus]
It’s twenty-two Junes of choosing to stay
Through the heat of the fire, we found a way
It wasn’t our power, but Grace on the line
Twenty-two Junes, and you’re still mine.
[Verse 3]
Then the world fell away, seven weeks in the dark
Lost Mom and then Dad, I was losing my spark
Hollowed and heavy, I was bringing life in
But you were my mountain through the thick and the thin
You held up my spirit, you saw who I could be
You made me a midwife and you set my soul free.
[Chorus]
It’s twenty-two Junes of choosing to stay
Through the heat of the fire, we found a way
It wasn’t our power, but Grace on the line
Twenty-two Junes, and you’re still mine.
[Bridge]
Six pairs of boots, and a grandson to hold
Catching sweet Justus, watching life unfold
From those wild nights of youth to the peace we have won
Just look at what the Lord has gone and done.
[Outro]
Ninety-seven to forever.
Still here. Still you.
Twenty-two Junes.
Twenty-two Junes.
Twenty-two Junes.
