Well I got me a working man with dirty nails and calloused hands
And a big old heart pushin' 18 wheels
Yeah his blood beats as red as mine
It ain't cold and blue or hard to find
He knows what he wants he ain't afraid to say
Well we met north of Tennessee
It was my guitar he and me
It's been a road of ups and downs and compromise
Lord I never thought it would be so rough
To fall in love but it's worth the guff
'Cause a forest begins with an acorn size
And one high flyin' dream
Somewhere safe somewhere home and somewhere free
For love, family
We're paying down these dues
Together win or lose
My baby and me and one high flyin' dream
Sometimes when I am on my own
And my thoughts drift back to the life alone
That I led before my man asked me to stay
Oh I thank the good lord up above
For the wonder joy and dream of love
I know nothing on this earth could block our way
To one high flyin' dream
Somewhere safe somewhere home and somewhere free
For love, family
We're paying down these dues
Together win or lose
My baby and me and one high flyin' dream
Gravity can't stop two hearts from soaring out of time
It's my high flyin dream
Somewhere safe somewhere home and somewhere free
For love and family
We're paying down these dues
Together win or lose
My baby and me and one high flyin' dream
