(Hey y’all)
Yeah, this one’s for the one who holds it all together.
Sun comes up over the pines in the valley
There she is, starting her day with a steady hand
Ogechi Duru, walking tall through the alley
Leading the way like the best in the land
She’s the heart of the home, yeah she’s the soul
Turning the chaos into something gold
Lord have mercy, she’s a beautiful sight
Keeping the fire burning through the night
Oh, Ogechi, you’re the pride of the county line
An industrious lady, a light that’s gonna shine
From the courtroom floor to the kitchen chair
There ain't nobody else with a grace like yours, I swear
Yeah, Ogechi, my beloved, my queen
The finest soul that this town’s ever seen
(Whoo!)
She’s a lawyer per excellence, sharp as a blade
Drafting the future with every move that she’s made
But when the work is done and the gavel hits the wood
She’s back to the hearth, doing everything good
She’s my sister, my rock, the one that I adore
Always giving back, and always reaching for more
That’s right, she’s the anchor in the rising tide
With a heart made of velvet and a spirit with pride
Oh, Ogechi, you’re the pride of the county line
An industrious lady, a light that’s gonna shine
From the courtroom floor to the kitchen chair
There ain't nobody else with a grace like yours, I swear
Yeah, Ogechi, my beloved, my queen
The finest soul that this town’s ever seen
It ain’t just the title or the things that she does
It’s the way she brings peace when the world feels like a fuss
She’s the rhythm in the dirt road, the stars in the sky
Ogechi, you’re the reason that we’re aiming so high
So raise up a glass of that sweet iced tea
To the woman who’s everything to you and to me
Ogechi Duru, yeah you’ve earned every crown
The brightest spark in this whole dusty town
Oh, Ogechi, you’re the pride of the county line
An industrious lady, a light that’s gonna shine
From the courtroom floor to the kitchen chair
There ain't nobody else with a grace like yours, I swear
Yeah, Ogechi, my beloved, my queen
The finest soul that this town’s ever seen
My beloved Ogechi, yeah, you’re the best
Above all the rest
Yeah, Ogechi… simply the best.
(Yee-haw)
