lyrics

Joanie and I were laughin’ when we were just 17
Running around her white dress stained green at the knees
The thunderhead in the distance took us both by surprise
Joanie ran as fast as she could screaming with a smile
A few years later on we were married by the county clerk
We didn’t have much money I was out of work
Fire took our first home they said it was a lightning strike
Joanie stood there smiling I just cursed the storm
We rebuilt the manor on land her daddy gave
Twenty years two children put one in her grave
The oak tree where we laid her fell over in the snow
Joanie now she has cancer she smiled
Honey do you think I’m old
How can I complain about the weather
With you up there in a hospital room
Laughing like you didn’t hear
The doctor say you’d never come home
