Marilyn Lott - Noxious Weeds

He pulls the noxious weeds
Of our Montana summer place
His shirt and shorts not matching
And I smile at his time-creased face
He’s the man I learn the most from
He’s the man who sets me straight
He’s the man who drives me crazy
He’s the man on my life-time plate
‘Cause I know I’ll never leave him
Oh Lord I thought I would
But as the years went slowly by
Thank God I never could!
