THE KEEPIN' KIND (J. D'Agostino/M. Bennett) Copyright 2010 732-241-6188
I was seventeen when I found her eyes
She was dancin' round the school bonfire
And Her smile was staring back at me
Then it was late night calls and holding hands,
a first kiss neath' the football stands
And time to meet my family
She made us laugh for hours
Then helped mama serve the pie
And when she hugged us all goodbye
Grandpa said "she's the keepin' kind, Just hold on tight"
She'll have your back come rain or shine
Knows love don't grow in a diamond mine
It's a we're in this together state of mind
When she's the keepin' kind, The keeping kind
Now it's ten years later and things have changed
Got matching rings and the kids are great
But they don't know what's weighing on my mind
You see I lost my job and it's been rough
Money's tight, and I said some stuff
Don't know why I went and made her cry
So bartender, how about one more round
to chase these blues away
He said "buddy, didn't you just say
That She's the keepin kind? Go home and make things right"
CHORUS
Bridge
So I left my pride there on that stool
Held her tight, said "I'm a fool
Don't know how you deal with me sometimes
She shook her pretty head and smiled, looked me in the eye and said
" cause you're the keepin kind"
And it feels so right
You got my back come rain or shine
No, love don't grow in a diamond mine
It's a we're in this together state of mind
And no matter what we'll see it through
It's you for me and me for you, yeah
For the rest of our lives, With the keepin kind
Gotta hold on tight
The keepin kind
Yeah it feels so right
