Along Came Jaan

[Verse 1]

Uncle Jim used to light up the star filled nights,

Boots on the floor, his hat tilted just right.

Texas Hill Country knew his name,

A honky-tonk king was his claim to fame

[Prechorus]

But the whiskey burned hard, and the years rolled by,

He’d laugh and say, "I’ll be single till I die."

[Chorus]

Then came Jan, with a spark in her eye,

A single mom with kids running wild.

She tamed his heart, made him a better man,

And Uncle Jim danced his last dance with Jan.

[Verse 2]

She had four kids and a world of pain

But her laugh could brighten the darkest day

So Jim traded late nights for supper at six,

Found love in the chaos of Jan's little mix.

[[Chorus]

Then came Jan, with a spark in her eye,

A single mom with kids running wild.

She tamed his heart, made him a better man,

And Uncle Jim danced his last dance with Jan.

[Bridge]

She left too soon a thief in the night,

Took the laughter, dimmed the light.

Uncle Jim wore her ring on a chain around his neck

He never took it off till the day he died

Oh the love Uncle Jim found when he met my Aunt Jan

[Chorus]

Then came Jan, with a spark in her eye,

A single mom with kids running wild.

She tamed his heart, made him a better man,

And Uncle Jim danced his last dance with Jan.
