The Heart of Renee Heath

Verse 1

Four names etched upon her heart

Angie and Annette were there from the start

Then came John and Marty too

Nothing she wouldn't do for you

Punching the clock at the Legion Post

Serving the folks who needed it most

Post twenty three was her second home

Beneath that high and weathered dome

Pre-Chorus

The wood lanes hummed every Sunday night

Rolling strikes by the neon light

You gave us the world on a silver string

The finest years a life could bring

Chorus

Oh Renee Holsinger Heath

Stronger than the storms underneath

You bore the weight of every tear

Through every hard and heavy year

Best mother this world has ever seen

Our steady heart our quiet queen

Oh Renee Holsinger Heath

Verse 2

Season passes for the New Boston pool

Where summer days were bright and cool

The hardwood floors of Skateland spun

Pure and simple childhood fun

But those green leaves in the timber line

Proved a choice that wasn't mine

She'd see the itch and start to scold

Fearing what the woods might hold

Pre-Chorus

She walked beside him through the haze

During David's long and faded days

A widow now since he slipped away

Love held on until the gray

Chorus

Oh Renee Holsinger Heath

Stronger than the storms underneath

You bore the weight of every tear

Through every hard and heavy year

Best mother this world has ever seen

Our steady heart our quiet queen

Oh Renee Holsinger Heath

Bridge

Vines on the fence

Hands in the sink

Giving us time to stop and think

She retired her apron but not her pride

With a soul as deep as the countryside

Chorus

Oh Renee Holsinger Heath

Stronger than the storms underneath

You bore the weight of every tear

Through every hard and heavy year

Best mother this world has ever seen

Our steady heart our quiet queen

Oh Renee Holsinger Heath
