What An Ass
Thirty-eight years, same front porch swing
Same cracked driveway, same wedding ring
Coffee in the morning, news on low
She still knows things I don't know
I leave my boots right there by the door
She's told me 'bout a thousand times or more
I just grin and shrug it off
She just shakes her head and scoffs
We ain't what we were back then
But I'd do it all over again
Married for thirty-eight years
Yeah, I've still got it---or so it appears
Every time I pass by my wife
I hear her mumble under her breath
"Look at him... still acting like that..."
Then she smiles and says, "What an ass"
We've had our storms, slammed a few doors
Made up slow on hardwood floors
Raised some kids, watched them leave
Now it's just her and me
She rolls her eyes when I joke too much
Still reaches out when we touch
Love ain't perfect, love ain't fast
But somehow, yeah, it lasts
Lines on our faces now
Still laugh the same somehow
Married for thirty-eight years
Yeah, I've still got it---or so it appears
Every time I pass by my wife
I hear her mumble under her breath
"Lord, he don't ever change, does he?"
Then she smirks and says, "What an ass"
If that's the worst thing she can say
After all these years, I'm okay
'Cause she's still here, right by my side
Still my girl still my ride
Married for thirty-eight years
Through all the laughter and the tears
Every time I pass by my wife
She pretends I'm the bane of her life
But she grabs my hand when I walk past
And whispers low... "My kind of ass"

That's a really sweet lyric! A down to earth, homely, natural kind of relationship song.
I read the lyric first, and I have to say the music surprised me. I think I was expecting a slower country swing waltz or something more like that. But there's obviously lots of different treatments you could give it.
In v1 those first two lines are really tight. Set up the whole context right there. Great work.
"She still knows things I don't know" felt a little odd to me. You're going for loving and respectful and that's definitely the right direction. Maybe there's a "same smile" type line there that would fit? Could be a bit generic I suppose.
Like how you're giving us the dynamics of the relationship in v2. Comfortable as an old pair of jeans.
The "what an ass" line is both cheeky and endearing. I think it works a treat. And the final "My kind of ass" feels very loving.
I think you're on a winner here :)

Nobody is married in Nashville in songs , its GF or BF
But since its your life why not
They call you alot of things , ass is rather mild
Sounds good tex

Don't think I'm headed to Nashville with this.
Your right my wife has called me worse than an ass once or maybe twice.

Thanks Owen.
I have to confess this wasn't my idea, my wife's sister prints up t-shirts and sells them at flea markets, on line, and so forth. I've got some good t-shirts she has done, my wife showed me one I figure I'll get for my birthday, it had a dog wagging his tail and the top line said, Look's like I still got it, then the bottom line said, She's always saying, What an Ass. So that gave me something to go on.

There are many ideas floating out there. You have to see them, then act on it. I think you can claim this as yours!

You should get a award for being married that long , Like some kind of trophy to hang in your man cave , if she lets you have one
