Jim and Jan

Uncle Jim used to light up the star filled nights,

Boots on the floor, his hat tilted just right.

Texas Hill Country knew his name,

A honky-tonk king was his claim to fame

But the whiskey burned hard, and the years rolled by,

He’d laugh and say, "I’ll be single till I die."

Then came Jan, with a spark in her eye,

A single mom with kids running wild.

She tamed his heart, made him a better man,

And Uncle Jim danced his last dance with Jan.

She had four kids and a world of pain

But her laugh could brighten the darkest day

So Jim traded late nights for supper at six,

Found love in the chaos of jan's little mix.

Then came Jan, with a spark in her eye,

A single mom with kids running wild.

She tamed his heart, made him a better man,

And Uncle Jim danced his last dance with Jan.

She left too soon, a thief in the night,

Took the laughter, dimmed the light.

Uncle Jim wore her ring on a chain around his neck

He never took it off till the day he died

Oh the love Uncle jim found when he met my Aunt Jan

Then came Jan, with a spark in her eye,

A single mom with kids running wild.

She tamed his heart, made him a better man,

And Uncle Jim danced his last dance with Jan.
