A Certain Ring To it
By AllHeart
Like that old red rooster crowin', time to get out of bed,
the noisy gossip in the barn, while all the girls get fed,
Like that old churchbell that we hear, on every Sunday morn,
or the sound of Mr. Hubbard's nearby field of growing corn,
I honestly swear it's true, no shit...
just be patient for a while and sit...
Like the celltone when you call me, I know it's time to go,
the sound of your sweet voice sayin', "Oh, how I miss you so",
Like my backyard always buzzin', with the birds and the bees,
stumblin' 'round as usual tryin', to find my damn truck keys,
and my lighter 'cause my cig's not lit...
you know that usually takes me a bit...
You know soon I will be headed, out on that same ol' ride,
I'm always driving way too fast, just to be by your side,
You should know that there's no other, could ever stand above,
like the phrase I have often heard, that one about the glove,
time with you and other things that fit...
yeah, it has a certain ring to it.
Like the catchphrase that I just heard, played in the song you know,
Yeah, I am finally on my way, listenin' to the radio,
Just like any given day now, today is nothing new,
I get my usual text to pick you up a drink or two,
Better do it or you'll have a fit...
yeah my baby needs her caffeine hit...
Like you need to ask me, cause you, know that I always will,
the register opens up to change my $50 bill,
Like the music that you're playin', when you are feelin' blue,
you can count on me to be there, and to always comfort you,
on you you know I would never quit...
not even just for a little bit...
I hope you know I am ready, to remain on this ride,
spending time with you forever, right there by your side,
Every day I thank the stars and, I thank the Lord above,
for your presence in my life now, your patience and your love,
shot your arrow of love, and I got hit...
and it had a certain ring to it...
Like the sound of wrapping paper, torn on a holiday,
our little ones giggling loudly, as they romp 'round and play,
Like that old dusty musicbox, set near the windowsill,
the day I asked you to be mine, and heard you say "I will",
it's because of you my heart stays lit...
beating brighter than the darkest pit...
Like the changing in your sweet voice, when someone makes you mad,
the first time hearin' little ones, no sweeter word than Dad,
Like knowing I wouldn't ever, hear you tell me goodbye,
a cryin' child in the wee hours, a late night lullaby,
wrapped up in the blanket that you knit...
rocked back to sleep with the song I've writ'...
Feelin' confident and steady, how I love this sweet ride,
like the sound of you forever, forever by my side,
Said you couldn't care less about, reaching fortune or fame,
Tell me how your life without me, just wouldn't be the same,
like my favorite old time country hit...
yeah, it has a certain ring to it...
Like the sound heard from your sweet lips, the day you said "I do",
like the cooing of those white doves, released and they all flew,
You should know that you are my rock, and my eternal flame,
My heart beats brighter than ever, since you took my last name,
Like many things in my life I'll admit...
that day had a certain ring to it.
