Newfound Love
Words & Music by Mark Laverty


Verse 1:	I earn my living riding bulls and wresting steers
		Eight short seconds has turned into ten long years
		I've broken bones that I never knew I had 
		But nothin' ever hurt me more than missin' you this bad

CHORUS:		This old cowboy has a newfound love for you
		Took you for granted from now on that won't be true
		Been gone too long and done things wrong 
		but my ropin' days are through 
		This old cowboy has newfound love for you

Verse 2:	On the road for weeks then home for just a day
		Tried to make it up with candy and bouquets
		The gift you needed most was the presence in your life
		Of a husband who would take some time and spend it with his wife

CHORUS:		REPEAT

Bridge:		I crossed the country looking for that perfect ride
		I should have stayed at home and held you through the nights 
		and been by your side

CHORUS:	REPEAT
