Material Things

Verse 1

My marriage to him is a partnership we said our vows out loud,

We made our home on the mountain with family all around, 

I feel like the lucky woman, a simple life, though it's hard

we deal with time and seasons, working with good hearts

Chorus

Precious like gold, we're making big memories here

Come see our heaven, it don't cost money or beers

The good lord is looking over us, there could be no doubt

Material things don't matter to me cause it's the love the

counts.

Verse 2

I don't need or value prizes as I have my best friend here

His gaze, his look, his laughter, I know just what is clear that

we're both self-sufficient we live our life off-grid, somehow or

another the homestead gives and gives.

Repeat Chorus

8 Bars Dobro solo

Bridge

A dream is a wish the heart makes in secret, we share ours all

the way, to a creative resourceful family, that's all will ever need

Repeat Chorus
