Still Chasing You

You never made it easy, that's the truth
Made me show up, made me prove it, made me work
Every time I thought I had you figured out
You gave me something new worth chasing first
I'd have had it no other way
You were right to make me earn it, every day
Forty-two years and I'll tell you what's still true —
I'd do every bit of it again for you

I'm still chasing you — not because you run
Just because you're still the only one
Worth every mile, every stumble, every year
These bones are older now
But when I move, I move toward you
Forty-two years and I'd do it all again
I'm still chasing you

You laugh at something and I lose the thread
You walk in the room and I forget what I said
You're just living your life, just being you
And somehow that's still the most beautiful view
I watch you dance and I can't wipe the smile
These old knees would disagree but I'd run every mile
Forty-two years and the truth hasn't changed —
Just being near you is enough

I'm still chasing you — not because you run
Just because you're still the only one
Worth every mile, every stumble, every year
These bones are older now
But when I move, I move toward you
Forty-two years and I'd do it all again
I'm still chasing you

Bridge (Lila's fiddle — or Colt low and warm)

Some men chase things that don't chase back
I chased you
And you let me catch you
So I never stopped

I'm still chasing you — not because you run
Just because you're still the only one
Worth every mile, every stumble, every year
These bones are older now
But when I move, I move toward you
Forty-two years and I'd do it all again

…God, I'm still chasing you
