Terre Haute Time

(Verse 1)

Back in Terre Haute, Indiana nights

Born in the forties, raised up right

Met in a church in their Sunday best

Sixties love, they never second-guessed

(Verse 2)

Four little babies, a crowded home

More love than money but they made it known

Prayed at the table, heads bowed low

Thanking God for the life they’d grow

(Chorus)

They lived that simple, steady life

Through every storm, side by side

Hands held tight when times got hard

Faith and love got ‘em this far

From dirt roads to old pine trees

To Florida air and salty breeze

If love’s forever, then I know it’s true

‘Cause I see it every time I think of you

(Verse 3)

Grandpa worked down in the coal mine dark

Came home tired but a faithful heart

Grandma counted every dime

Worked that bank her whole life line

(Verse 4)

Now they’re sittin’ in the quiet years

Trading hard days for peace right here

Front porch talk and setting sun

Looking back on all they’ve done

(Bridge)

Life didn’t go the way they planned

But they leaned on faith and held on hands

Through every trial, they never broke

Just said a prayer and carried hope

(Chorus)

They lived that simple, steady life

Through every storm, side by side

Hands held tight when times got hard

Faith and love got ‘em this far

From Terre Haute to down south days

Different roads but the same old ways

If love’s forever, then I know it’s true

‘Cause I still see them in all I do

(Outro)

Yeah that kind of love don’t fade away

It’s stitched in time, it’s here to stay
