Do you support your man?

I was driving to my parents from Litchfield today and listing to a CD when this song came on, it's one of my favorites I just love the lyrics and hope and pray my husband would say the same  of me . . .

She Supports Her Man
By: Paul Overstreet

Well they were married young
And at first life was hard for them
Her friends and family told her
She should not have married him
'Cause sometimes he'd get out of work
Then he'd work on big ideas
And the part time job she'd have to take
Would barely pay the bills
Sometimes they could both hear 
People talk behind their backs, saying

She supports her man
Yes, she supports her man
And she believes that everyone
Should have a helping hand
And the Bible on the table says
It's all part of the plan
She's in love so she supports her man

Well after 15 years or so
Her man wound up on top
And when his big ideas came through
Well, everyone was shocked
To find he'd never take the credit
For all his success
He was quick to set the record strait
When people asked
He would always turn to his wife
Take her hand and say,

Yea, she supports her man
Yea, she supports her man
Any good I'll ever do 
She believes I can
And the Bible on our table says
It's all part of His plan
I've been blessed 'cause 
She supports her man

Well last Sunday he turned 92
And she's just 85
But to look at them it's plain to see
Their love is still alive
His eyes don't see as well as hers
His ears hear fewer sounds
But with his feeble hand on her arm
They still walk through town
Now everybody's saying it's wonderful to see

How she supports her man
Yes, she supports her man
'Cause she's believes eternity
Should find them hand in hand
And the Bible on their table says
It's all part of His plan
So with the strength God gives her
She supports her man

Yea, the Bible on their table says
It's all part of His plan
So with the strength God gives her
She supports her man
