He wakes up with the sun, another long day ahead Boots on the red dirt, with his old mate by the shed Just a man and his dog, in a rusty old Ute, Livin' life simple, never needin' much more truth That old bench seat, it's seen some miles, Dusty roads, hard work, and quiet country smiles. Through the heat, through the rain, they've been runnin' strong, Didn't need no one else-just the road and a song. But then I saw her standin' there, Sunlight dancin' in her hair. A picture of beauty, a heart so true, With a warm and gentle smile that cut right through. And I knew right then, like the sky is blue, This was the woman I'd hold on to She walked my way, soft as a breeze, Set my heart to runnin', knocked me to my knees. The dog wagged his tail, gave his silent okay, And my old Ute whispered, "Boy, don't let her get away" Now it's late night talks on the front porch swing, Laughin' at life, hearin' our hearts sing. My best mate still rides by my side, But now there's love along for the ride. 'Cause I saw her standin' there, Sunlight dancin' in her hair. A picture of beauty, a heart so true, With a warm gentle smile that cut right through. And I knew right then, like the sky is blue, This was the woman I'd hold on to. Just a hard working man, his dog and his truck, Found somethin' more, found more than just luck. Now it's me, my mate, my Ute, and my girl, She's my whole heart, she's my whole world.
