Lyrics
Growing up I never had much
Mama had to darn the socks
And Our clothes were often
More patches than anything else
But we had enough and
That was more than enough for me
I always dreamed I’d build my
Own house, for my future family
I’d marry that girl from high school
Who has always held my heart
We’d have a kid or two,
Hell maybe even a dog
But forget the fence I’d rather
Have the view
That’s the life I’ve always
Dreamed would be
Grandkids on my lake house dock
A cold beer in my hand
My wife smiling at me
As beautiful as the day
She met me
That sounds pretty perfect to me
I went to war, I don’t
Talk about it much
Still haunts me to this day
I’ll never be quite the same
But I buckled down and worked
To provide for my family
We worked hard my
Wife and I
We had a little boy and baby girl
As well as a few dogs along the way
We didn’t have much, but
We had enough and
That was plenty for me
That’s the life I’ve always
Dreamed would be
Grandkids on my lake house dock
A cold beer in my hand
My wife smiling at me
As beautiful as the day
She met me
That sounds pretty perfect to me
Both my kids have moved out
Wasn’t sure my boy would even
Make it to eighteen as
Stubborn and reckless as me
My baby girl all grown up
And starting her own family,
But still just as stubborn as me
I still work on my hands and knees
Don’t quite know what I’ll do when
It’s time to leave
Maybe I’d give my wife that
Kitchen she’s been dying for
And who knows maybe someday
When we’re old and grey I’ll
Finally do somethin about
Our house on the shore
That’s the life I’ve always
Dreamed would be
Grandkids on my lake house dock
A cold beer in my hand
My wife smiling at me
As beautiful as the day
She met me
That sounds pretty perfect to me
My dreams came true
Might have taken a wrong turn a
Time or two, might even have some regrets but overall my
Dreams came true
I built my house
I married my girl
We had some kids
And now we get to be grandparents too
It all seems pretty perfect to me
