The View I Love the Most

(with apologies to Lonestar - our great view of farmland is out the back deck)

The only ground I ever owned was sticking to my shoes
Now I look at my back deck and this panoramic view
I can sit and watch the fields fill up
With rays of glowing sun
Or watch the moon lay on the fences
Like that's where it was hung
My blessings are in front of me
It's not about the land
I'll never beat the view
From my back deck looking in

There's a carrot top who can barely walk
With a sippy cup of milk
A little brown-haired boy with shoes on wrong
'Cause he likes to dress himself
And the most beautiful girl holding both of them
And the view I love the most
Is my back deck looking in, yeah

I've traveled here and everywhere
Following my job
I've seen the paintings from the air
Brushed by the hand of God
The mountains and the canyons reach from sea to shining sea
But I can't wait to get back home
To the one he made for me
It's anywhere I'll ever go and everywhere I've been
Nothing takes my breath away
Like my back deck looking in

There's a carrot top who can barely walk
With a sippy cup of milk
A little brown-haired boy with shoes on wrong
'Cause he likes to dress himself
And the most beautiful girl holding both of them
Yeah the view I love the most
Is my back deck looking in

I see what beautiful is about
When I'm looking in
Not when I'm looking out

There's a carrot top that can barely walk
with a sippy cup of milk,
A little brown-haired boy with his shoes on wrong
'cause he likes to dress himself,
And the most beautiful girl, holding both of them -
The view I love the most is from my back deck, looking in.
