You broke the chains that bound you
You stepped out of your own way
You headed down to the bayou
With a heart that’s brave

Would you love me if I had no money?
Would you pack your things and leave?
I know this may sound funny
But I can hardly breathe

I have stood beside you
I’ve backed you through it all
I never could have imagined
How in love with you I’d fall

I confess I took you for granted
Looking back, a sight to see
To be standing right beside me
As the transcending king and queen.
