Lyrics

That'll Do

He's not rich.
He's not real strong.
He can't sing me a good love song
He's not real good looking
But his love is true
And ya know I'm thinking
That'll do

That'll do to know he loves me
That'll do to know he treats me right
That'll do every morning
That'll do every night
That'll do to hear that honest voice
When he says, "Honey, I love you"
And at the end of every day
That'll do

He sends me flowers
He works real hard
He loves kids
He likes my dog
He knows how to kiss
He loves my momma too
And ya know I'm thinking
That'll do

(Chorus)

When we're old and gray
Sittin on the porch
With our grandkids runnin round
After church we can take drive out by the lake
We've got everything that matters
When we're sitting there holding hands
No matter where he may fall short
I can honestly say

That'll do to know he loves me
That'll do to know he treats me right
That'll do every morning
That'll do every night
That'll do to hear that honest voice
When he says, "Honey, I love you"
And at the end of every day of our lives
That'll do

Well played, well sung and just plain fun!

I really like the hook a lot. Lyric is well written too. I like that it gets to the chorus right away.
