Take a few minutes to read the lyrics, they're just lovely. And then listen to the song. It's really good, and quite catchy. And Lee Brice has a really good voice! I mean, a lot of people out there have good voices, but this guy, he seriously has a good country singin' voice. Gotta love that!
They called him crazy when they started out
Said seventeen's too young to know what loves about
They've been together fifty-eight years now
That’s crazy
He brought home sixty-seven bucks a week
He bought a little two bedroom house on Maple Street
Where she blessed him with six more mouths to feed
Yeah that’s crazy
Just ask him how he did it; he'll say pull up a seat
It'll only take a minute, to tell you everything
Be your best friend, tell the truth, and overuse I love you
Go to work, do your best, don't outsmart your common sense
Never let your prayin' knees get lazy
And love like crazy
They called him crazy when he quit his job
Said them home computers, boy they'll never take off
He sold his one man shop to Microsoft
They paid like crazy
Just ask him how he made it
He'll tell you faith and sweat
And the heart of a faithful woman,
Who never let him forget
Be your best friend, tell the truth, and overuse I love you
Go to work, do your best, don't outsmart your common sense
Never let your prayin' knees get lazy
And love like crazy
Always treat your woman like a lady
Never get too old to call her baby
Never let your prayin' knees get lazy
And love like crazy
They called him crazy when they started out
They've been together fifty-eight years now
Ain't that crazy?

Why do I love this song? Well, there are a few reasons. I love the chorus most of all. It talks about prayer, loving your wife (Well, he uses the word woman, but I shall replace that with wife here, haha), treat her like a lady, call her baby, overuse I love you. I don't think you can overuse the words I love you! I mean, what girl doesn't want to feel cherished? And this chorus just tells the story that he cherishes his wife. And it just tells a good story. One thing about country music, is that the songs always tell a story. And this is just a particularly good story! It starts when they're 17, and goes through their 58th year. It tells about how they conquered hardships when everyone was telling them they couldn't. I just love this song... :)
I agree about the way-FM loveliness.. they can be so very un-christian for such a "christian" radio station.. :(
