Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] We were kids once Wild and restless You left town and laced your boots Carried weight most hearts would stagger Came back home still telling truth Flag on the porch Kids in the doorway Laugh in your eyes Lines on your face Every scar you brought back with you Turned this house into a safe place [Chorus] Here’s to your heart of gold at fifty Here’s to the miles that brought you home To the country that you carried To the love you’ve always shown You give and give Just keep on giving Like a river running strong Heart of gold at fifty May it shine for twice as long [Verse 2] You’re the first call when things get heavy You just show up Sleeves rolled high Pour the coffee Fix what’s broken Never once asking why I watch your kids climb up your shoulders Hear you tell them they belong I swear I love them like my own now ‘Cause you taught me how to be strong [Chorus] Here’s to your heart of gold at fifty Here’s to the miles that brought you home To the country that you carried To the love you’ve always shown You give and give Just keep on giving Like a river running strong Heart of gold at fifty May it shine for twice as long [Bridge] Some live loud and leave so little You live quiet Leave a trail Of open doors and second chances Every time the world might fail So tonight we raise this chorus Sing your name into the sky (hey!) Grateful for the way you’ve lived And the days still coming by [Chorus] Here’s to your heart of gold at fifty Here’s to the miles that brought you home To the country that you carried To the love you’ve always shown You give and give Just keep on giving Like a river running strong Heart of gold at fifty May it shine for twice as long
