Kristen, My Rock

Intro

(acoustic guitar strums slow, piano drifts in)

Verse

Met you in Omaha, Nebraska lights

Football player on the field, you cheerin’ on the side

First dates were simple, just a drive and a kiss

Now twenty-five years, and I still feel like this

Verse

We packed up the heartland, moved town to town

Mexico vacations when the kids got grown

Friends at the table, family all around

You made a home wherever the road laid down

Chorus

Kristen, my rock, my co-pilot true

You pulled me from the dark when the bottle pulled me through

You bake that bread, smile wide, say “it’ll be fine”

Even when the whiskey makes you cuss like a sailor at night

You’re my everything, girl, my steady hand

Verse

Oldest girl on the field, you never missed a game

Youngest one reading, you made sure she aimed

Two beautiful daughters, both carry your fire

Free spirit laughin’, liftin’ me higher

Chorus

Kristen, my rock, my co-pilot true

You pulled me from the dark when the bottle pulled me through

You bake that bread, smile wide, say “it’ll be fine”

Even when the whiskey makes you cuss like a sailor at night

You’re my everything, girl, my steady hand

Bridge

You make friends easy, doors open wide

Compassion in your eyes, no trouble, no pride

When the world got heavy, you carried the load

Built me back up on this long, winding road

Chorus

Kristen, my rock, my co-pilot true

You pulled me from the dark when the bottle pulled me through

You bake that bread, smile wide, say “it’ll be fine”

Even when the whiskey makes you cuss like a sailor at night

You’re my everything, girl, my steady hand

Outro

(acoustic guitar fades with soft piano and strings)
