Some might say I’m ridiculous
Maybe childish
But I shrug it off and keep going where I’m heading
Where am I heading
Toward something good, I believe
One of my favorite things at the moment up my sleeve
Is a new band I discovered
My husband gets on me, says I don’t appreciate music
I always ask him to turn it down
He says I’m not attuned to it
But this new band I like to turn up
The guitars, the keyboards, even saxophones
Maybe a violin in some songs
Lyrics that jive like young ligaments and bones
When a husband and wife share a microphone
An unbreakable bond
It takes me back to that fall I fell in love with my husband – and beyond
Singing of stars, of love, of the final win
How can a melody usher heaven in
I’m swept up, even serenadeted
When I was starting to think I was jaded
I can’t stop playing their tunes
The songs of a bride and groom
Friends too
Am I headed to Tennessee
To see my new band play
It seems they’ve convinced me
New music’s not dead
I’m running to it, my version of dancing
The tunes carry on in my head
My husband likes it too
We listen to it together, like we were made to do
Just like two kids falling in love
