Well, me and my lady had our first big challenge,
So I drove away to watch them horns play,
Corner roadhouse, winning just felt out of sight,
Every cowboy around but not the bar keep,
She was down at the end chatting with her friends and she looked up,
Came over, and said, "Cold beer?",
I said, "The love stuff",
She didn't reach out with sympathy,
She didn't lecture me in fear,
Her brown eyes kinda went twisty,
She said "Good luck", "Finding that here",
Cuz, it's the first hope on a dating app,
Most people out here are playing games,
Friends lost hope, thinking singles fate,
Cuz, you're giving out so much, receiving dishonesty's bate,
But it's the way that she responds without a second thought,
Heart all in, not given up waiting to stop,
First date on FaceTime late,
Picks up cues, actions matched up, seeing double standards refused,
Yeah man, that's the love stuff,
She grabbed a pen and wrote down steak,
And I smiled and said, "I'll add a piece of cake",
We sat there and watch as time passed, hopeful for a comeback,
I saw the clock ticking to half time,
It was looking like a come from behind,
She said here's your check, go back home, see what's left,
She said, "Spent several years cleaning up my mess",
Cuz hatred, I hold tight to my chest,
But I've been married a couple times not giving my best,
Quitting our vows when times get stressed,
But the one thing stronger than the pain is,
The feeling of him holding his baby girl,
The way he adored me his perfect world,
That was the day he gave his sacred vows,
The first time taking him hospital bound,
And it's a new challenge saying we'll overcome now,
Being right there as our time got small,
As I prepared to leave him but stalled,
Yeah, man, that's the love stuff,
That's the love stuff,
That's the love stuff,
She said, "When you get home, she'll be real sad, she'll start packing her things to try to make you feel bad",
But when she says, "I'm sorry", say, "Choose your path",
Love is a choice, you're not sacrificing what you have,
Figure it out, there's no coming back,
And look into those eyes, so deep in love, commit and trust,
Cuz that's the love stuff,
Yeah,
That's the love stuff,
