This song was before 'Backseat', as I wrote my wife, as she asked for a divorce, (as explained under Backseat having no say), as she wanted one. It was my plea to her, as I didn't want one, as I still loved and needed her. She got one anyway ...

Story behind the song
Before 'Backseat I Call Home?" My wife had been told I would not be as nice or loving after my stay in prison. So, she wrote, (but never visited either) and asked me for a divorce. I didn't really have a say ... but did write this song in hopes she would reconsider. However, she went ahead with the divorce to spite my plea. We got back together months after I was released. That's where my story of Backseat comes in, as I really had nowhere to go, when I got out, but the streets. She had moved ... and took everything of mine with her. So I lived on the streets, again for a while until she found me, and wanted me back as well as my forgiveness for what she had done to me without just cause. So, I guess the song worked after all? It weren't easy though? I really struggled that second time, as I was older and just starting with the MS, but didn't know it then? Then again, this third time, as the MS, made it all the more miserable ... especially since this time she left me due to the MS, and caused me to loose the home we had just rented ... to which I couldn't carry on what little I was able to make now, with the onset of the MS, and several old but serious, surgeries from the past before we had ever met, that left me unable to even find part time work now too. Been alone now, going on 11 years. Haven't even dated. But I've composed many a song over the only wife, or love, I ever thought I'd have. I composed The song in this older fashion ballad sound from about the mid 40's to 50's with just a touch of comtempory lyrics one might use during the 70's Country Western ballad songs, maybe like Willie, or Roy Orbison, etc.
Lyrics
Verse: 1 Sixteen Years since I gave my heart to you With my promise to always love you, and I still do And I'm not sure, I can do what you've asked me to Cause sixteen years I've spent of my life, loving you Chores: 1 You've asked me to just walk-away as if we've met only yesterday Well Darlin, I think it's fair to say ... I don't want too Verse: 2 But Sixteen years, I've held you in my heart Never doubting we'd stay together from the start Now you say it's over ... But that's just your point of view Cause sixteen years, I've spent of my life, loving you Small Instrumental Solo Lead & Turn-Around .... Chores: 2 You've asked me to just walk-way But my heart's standing in my way I still love you, and I need you ... what more can I say ... Verse: 3 But sixteen years ... I've held you in my heart Even now ... I'm still trying to do my part To convince you, not to do what you've asked me to Cause sixteen years, I've spent of my life, loving you ... And if it were a hundred sixteen years, I'd still Love You ...
