Chris Ledoux - Our First Year lyrics

The winter wind was blowin' when we loaded that old truck With a few things that we had and all our dreams. With my new bride there beside me we headed down the road I would show her places and things she'd never seen First we went to denver, fort worth, then san antone She cheered me on at every rodeo, But houston finally ended and then san angelo I didn't want to tell her but she knew that we were broke. Chorus But she never complained when the winnin's didn't come She just took it all in stride, And if i rode good or bit the dust, she was just as proud She was happy bein' by my side Then in california the baby started showin' And all her clothes were gettin' way too small We couldn't spare the money to buy her any new ones She just wore my shirt and jeans and didn't mind at all. And early in the mornin' we'd wake up by the roadside I'd build a fire and she'd get out the eggs She'd cook us up some breakfast then we'd sit down there on the gra** Lord, those were the best meals i guess i ever ate. Chorus Well now those days are over, and somehow we got ahead That little gal i married's still here with me We finally got the house we planned down there beside the stream And all those old hard times are just cherished memories. Chorus She was happy bein' by my side.
