I was born to a family of jokers, gamblers and smokers, living on the line. I was raised by strong headed women, men who tested limits and did a little time. And it ain't a mystery you fell for me, we're just two lost souls trying to find our peace. The black bars ain't a masterpiece, it's a good day in the sun. I was born to love you, out where the water is wide. Make me your country bride, you'll be my prince of tides. You were born to heal me, under a velvet sky. Cat tails dancing in the light. We were born to live a long and happy life. A happy life. Yeah folks, like us, we may lie down in darkness. But we don't lose our sparks, we bring back a good story to tell. Cause we grew up around beauty, sunsets better than a movie. We knew it was our appointed duty to love like the world might end. And to toast a good night to its friends. I was born to love you, out where the water is wide. Make me your country bride, you'll be my prince of tides. You were born to heal me, under a velvet sky. Cat tails dancing in the light. We were born to live a long and happy life. A happy life. And it comes to me in waves, like the shores of Palmetto Bay. Knowing I'm so lucky, your broken heart could love me. I was born to love you, out where the water is wide. Make me your country bride, you'll be my prince of tides. I was born to love you, out where the water is wide. Make me your country bride, you'll be my prince of tides. You were born to heal me, under a velvet sky. Cat tails dancing in the light. We were born to live a long and happy life. A happy life. Happy life.
