The Stronger One

Now it kind of seems to me

That a man will go crazy

Tryin to say how he feels

Lord knows, I'm a man like that



She resassures me then

And if she could only see

Darlin, you're my best friend

Darlin, you're stronger than me



They say a man is stronger

But you're where I make my stand

It would be hard to last any longer

Wihout you holding my hand



If a man is the stronger one

Why don't I know what to do?

If a man is the stronger one

Then why do I need you?



The Lord has blessed me with you

And I thank him for your love

I don't need to know what I'd do

Because the good Lord knows

That you're stronger than me



If a man is the stronger one

Why does she get me through?

If a man is the stronger one

Then tell me why I need you.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

this is based of course, on me and rusti...but i got to thinking about it by looking at my grandma and grandpa petrie, and their relationship...they really love each other, and for as strong a man as my grandpa is, he needs my grandma, and i don't think he could live without her. i asked grandma how to tell when you have your "love" and she said you know its the one, when you can't live without that person...so i wrote a song, this is one of my favorite ones i wrote, and i just finished it...but i think it rings true.

This was really beautiful Justin! I think I may be getting a new favorite (though it's hard since you have so many I like)
