Out on a boat
in the Mississippi 
hit something hard
down, down she goes
I managed to survive
my girlfriend sadly drowned

Two months later
somebody killed my horse
I am getting so depressed
with life in general
I need to meet another girl

My cousin drank
too much but
drove his Chevy home
He dozed at the wheel
and hit a great big tree
I cried for weeks on end

I went to buy
another horse
the owner was so pretty
Mary Ann McVittie
I did not sleep
that night
just thinking about
that charmer

I asked her
for a date
we ate and talked
the night away
I love this 
girl so much
I hope to marry her
The feeling is right
the future looking bright
I hope she feels the same way

Life sure tests you
are you strong or weak
I made it through
I am now stronger
