Steady

Her daddy didn't like me much
But she brought him around
Now we're going on twenty years
She ain't let up, she won't slow down
Sure as all conviction
My calm through every storm
The love that keeps me honest
When I get too far from home

She's steady
Oh she's steady

Well I wasted all my whiskey
Just trying to get somewhere
She said why do you keep going
When you know damn well you're already there
And I don't know why I do it
Or why I get this way
But there she goes
Just giving so much patience

She's steady
Oh she's steady
When everything I know
Crumbles all around me
She's steady

We were kids when I first met her
Now our kids are almost grown
I can't help but think about
Just how soon they'll be moving on
And I've been the best father
That I know how to be
When I fall short
She's everything they need

She's steady
Oh she's steady

I've never been perfect
And I know I'll never be
But when I'm at my worst
She sees the best in me

She's steady
Oh she's steady
Oh she's steady
God, I know she's steady
