Not planning my days around a TV set
Paying our bills and staying out of debt
That's important to me

Opening the windows and letting in air
Holding hands when we're saying a prayer
That's important to me

Chorus 1

Having somebody to share my life
Loving my husbandand being a wife
And the very best mother I can be
That's important to me

Telling the truth and being real
Feeding my family a home - cooked meal
That's important to me that's important to me

Planting a garden and watching it grow
Keeping it country on the radio
That's important to me that's important to me

Chorus 2
Always having you to hold
Being beside you when we grow old
And they plant us 'neath that big oak tree
That's important to me

Believin' my dreams will take me somewhere
Still being myself when I get there
That's important to me that's important to me
Yeah that's important to me that's important to me
