Moving Oleta was the hardest thing he'd done
3
The nurses saw an old woman crying, but he saw the love of his life
4
She don't know where she is, but she knows this isn't home
5
Love is a hard, hard road
6
He met her in the summer of '37
7
In a brush harbor down on the Rush Creek shore
8
He loved her black hair and the mischief in her smile
9
But she won him with her eyes
10
All the years and children grow
11
He still sees her the same
12
Love is a hard, hard road
13
He woke up each morning and drove into town
14
He stayed all day 'till her dinner came
15
Then he took her to her room, leaned on her wheelchair like a walker
16
And covered her with a quit that she made
17
Only God and a couple of nurses helped the old man shoulder the load
18
Love is a hard, hard road
19
And he said
20
They tell me this is all that's left
21
Say this hell on earth is best
22
I list all those reasons and I still don't understand it
23
He cursed his body old and weak
24
Tears of failure burned his cheek
25
And he said
26
Oh, don't you know I prayed to die before this day
27
Love is a hard, hard road
28
There's a shadow much darker than the valley of death
29
When you fear the reaper might not come today
30
They line 'em up in La-z-boys out in the sunroom
31
The TV keeps the quiet away
32
She can't recall his name
33
And she's the only love he's known
34
Love is a hard, hard road
35
Love is a hard road
36
Moving Oleta was the hardest thing he'd done
