Bravest One

I'm a hundred miles to Tucson
And I'm thinking about the future
I am wondering where we're headed
If we're going there together
And the sky is hypnotizing
There go those purple mountains
I'm staring off thinking about you

I see you in your twenties
You were sensual and magic
With a lightning sense of humor
Though your life was tragic
You had learned the art of living
How to face down all your monsters
And you taught me how to love and do the same

There's no one else like you
You're the bravest one
I know you wanted babies

At this point you thought a house full
The one that's in your arms
Is as quiet as a mouse
Still there's nowhere she'd be better off
Than living with your loving
And the truth is she was meant to be with you

There's no one else like you
You're the bravest one I know
There's no one else like you
You're the bravest one

I see you with your warpaint on
Walking down the Mississippi river
You're the one I'm holding onto
I won't let you go, not ever

As the winding roads of life
See us go down different paths
Always know that when you need me
All you have to do is ask
We are older now and wiser
And the years are going fast
I'd rather spend the time I have with you

There's no one else like you
You're the bravest one I know
There's no one else like you
You're the bravest one
