Lyrics

Verse 1
She’s in the kitchen, apron tight
Stirring up dinner, firelight bright
With one eye on the coals, the other on me
She says, “Sweet Pee, don’t burn the tea!”

She works all day, and somehow more
Sweeps the floor and mops the door
Does the ironing with a warrior’s grace
Leaves a kiss of calm on this rugged face

Chorus
She’s my anchor, she’s my guide
Brings me down from the storm inside
Calls me Rich with a voice so light
And keeps my spirit flying right
Oh, out in Straiton, skies are clean
I’ve got my Sweet Pee, my fire queen

Verse 2
Logs get chopped, and coal gets stacked
She’s right there, never looking back
Claps at crows from the back door stoop
Protecting robins from the feathered troop

She explains life when I lose my way
Takes the sharp words, makes 'em okay
With Clair beside her, a friend so true
They hold the light when I feel blue

Bridge
I was a dreamer, flying wild
She brought me home, nature’s child
From city noise to peaceful green
She’s the reason I believe in dreams

Final Chorus
She’s my healer, my steady flame
In the quiet hills, she took my name
Calls me Rich, her Sweet Pee too
And every word she says rings true
Yeah, out in Straiton, I found my scene
With my Sweet Pee, my fire queen

Outro
Dinner’s warm, the kettle sings
She’s the heart of all good things
From robin songs to fireside tea
She’s everything that steadies me
