Up and down

I was drivin’ down a nowhere road

With a broke-down dream and a heart gone cold

Rain on the windshield, bills overdue

Then outta the dark came you

You held my hand through the hard nights

Stayed by my side when the time weren’t right

Everybody else kept letting go

But you loved a man nobody knew

She’s my world, she’s my everything

She’s my heart and soul

God put her on this earth for me

To bring this broken man some peace

She was there when I was down

Loved me when I had nothing now

And now I’m up, she gon’ be up with me

Yeah, that girl’s my destiny

We made supper outta dollar store meals

Shared old hurt and learned to heal

No gold watch, no fancy name

Just her love keeping me sane

Now the lights shine a little brighter

Road gets smooth and my load gets lighter

But I ain’t forgetting where I’ve been

Or who stood beside me then

She’s my world, she’s my everything

She’s my heart and soul

God put her on this earth for me

To bring this broken man some peace

She was there when I was down

Loved me when I had nothing now

And now I’m up, she gon’ be up with me

Yeah, that girl’s my destiny

If I got a dollar, then she got half

If I got a dream, she’s in every path

Through the dirt roads and the glory days

I’m loving her all the way

She’s my world, she’s my everything

The reason my heart still sings

God knew exactly what I’d need

When He brought her love to me

She believed when no one else would

Saw the man inside the hood

And now I’m up, she gon’ be up with me

Till they lay us underneath those trees
