Staying Afloat

(album: Sawyer Brown - 1984)

It's another Saturday evening
Just you and me and the black and white
But we're dreaming in color
Telling each other, things are looking bright
So we'll be skimming the waters
I hear the wind in the sails tonight
We're just paying our dues
For that luxury cruise in Paradise

And we're staying afloat till our ship comes in
A keeping our heads above water
Staying afloat till our ship comes in
We're holding on to each other

You could have married for money
I could have married this dream inside
But we're two go getters
Swimming together in the stream of life
They say it's never been harder
Making end meet and keeping love alive
But we're up to our necks
The bills out number the checks
But our love survives
