About meeting my wife Cindy of 42 years in Malden Missouri, the birth of our sons Marshal and Tyler, their wives Jessica and Cassie. Our grandchildren Norah, Holden and Emma. Traveling with the Air Force from Seoul South Korea, Outer Banks of North Carolina to Scott AFB, Illinois. Driving our 1970 Ford Bronco on a Sunday afternoon and walking the beaches.
Lyrics
Sunday light on the dashboard, 1970 Bronco hums (uh-huh)
Radio low, windows down, the road is calling us (yeah)
Met you in Malden, Missouri, a summer that wouldn't let go
You laughed at my cowboy boots, said "boy, take it slow"
Forty-two years later, your hand still fits mine
Same crooked smile, same stubborn fight, same worn-out diner sign
We parked that Bronco by the river, kicked the dust off our shoes
Said we'd go where the sky is wide and we'd follow our room to move
Two little boys came running — Marshal with a grin, Tyler with his song
We learned how to lose, to heal, to carry on
Jessica and Cassie grew the circle, tied their names to ours
And then Norah, Holden, little Emma — small bright shining stars
Cindy, oh Cindy, forty-two years and counting (oh-oh)
Cindy, my Cindy, every mile worth the mounting (yeah, yeah)
From Seoul to the Outer Banks, Scott AFB to home
We rode that Bronco on a Sunday, we walked those beaches alone (we walked, we walked)
Cindy, oh Cindy, you and me, ride on — ride on (ride on)
Air Force stamped our passport, Seoul taught us a new light
Korean winters, neon signs — no, not that word — but city nights (whoa)
Then came sand between our toes in Hatteras and Kitty Hawk air
We learned to listen to the tide, learned to breathe the salt and care
Scott AFB brought cold cornfields, friends who became our kin
We set a table, told our stories, let the laughter roll right in
Marshal found his compass, Tyler found his tune
Jessica brought the morning, Cassie brought the moon
Grandkids at the table, sticky hands and bedtime prayers
Norah with her stories, Holden with his dares, Emma with her hair (oh-oh)
Cindy, oh Cindy, forty-two years and counting (yeah, yeah)
Cindy, my Cindy, all these memories surrounding (uh-huh)
From the hangar doors to coastline doors, from duty to the dawn
We drove that Bronco on a Sunday, barefoot on the sand and gone (gone, gone)
Cindy, oh Cindy, you and me, ride on — ride on
Remember that Sunday afternoon, wind through the bench seat
You hummed a song I didn't know, I learned every line complete
We walked the beaches hand in hand, shells and footprints in a row
You bent to tie a ribbon and the whole world seemed to slow
Kids grew tall and weddings came, bouquets and shared refrains
We kept an old photograph, the frame still holding stains
There were nights of worry, mornings of repair
There were jobs that pulled us far, and prayers that kept us there
But the map of us kept widening, names written in the sand
From Marshal's laugh to Tyler's grin to the little ones who stand
Cindy, oh Cindy, forty-two years and counting (oh-oh)
Cindy, my Cindy, every road and every mountain (yeah, yeah)
From Seoul to the Outer Banks, Scott AFB to home
We rode that Bronco on a Sunday, walked the beaches all
