lay down their cares

a hard-workin man
with a simple rule
"do the right thing: always tell the truth"
doesn't act like a genius
but he's no fool
pursuing his dream since his youth

of a peaceful home out on the edge of town
where he can see the stars when the sun goes down
a sweet woman at his side to remind him there
that he can rest in her arms and lay down his cares

a hard-workin woman
with a tender smile
ready for new love; life's new birth
saving her love
for a man that's right
knows the measure of what she's worth

and she wants a home out on the edge of town
where she can see the stars when the sun goes down
an honest man at her side to remind her there
that she can rest in his arms and lay down her cares

hard-workin family
with joyful hearts
living in love; healin the hurts
thanking the Lord
for the things he's wrought
forging bonds stronger than words

and they have a home out on the edge of town
where they can see the stars when the sun goes down
laying side by side, it reminds them there that
they can rest in His arms and lay down their cares
