Together (Grandma & Grandpa's Song)

(앨범: Started With A Song - 2013)

A little girl and a little guy
Are throwing rocks, killing time at recess
At a school house in the country

A little girl and a little guy
Are throwing rocks, killing time at recess
At a school house in the country

She throws a wild one way too far
Breaks the window of the teacher's car
And the teardrops just start falling

So he holds her hand
And says don't be sad
We're in this together

The world turns 15 times
That same girl and that same guy
Oh man and they're farming in the 50's

There's chores to do and bills to pay
There's a second baby on the way
That spring the hard times sure are many

She holds him close at night
Says it'll be alright
'Cause we're in this together

And that just shows the strength of love
And somehow from the Lord above
They knew they had better days in store

They had nothing but their hat and home
But somehow they survived that fall
They don't make em like that anymore

A few decades fly right past
They made some money, bought some land
And built a big house for the family

He drove tractors, she talked school
They never even got a honeymoon
But ask em and they'd tell you they were happy

He never lost a bit of work
But she'd make him go to church
'Cause they're in this together

There's no doubt there were tough times
And I can't judge if you try to find some answers
At the bottom of a bottle

But she made a vow through thick and thin
She never once gave up on him
Though I'm sure they had at least 1000 problems

So when he checked in
He walked out a different man
And said "we're in this together"

57 years, they come and go
Kids get married, children grow
Then grandkids come and fill their hearts with pride

Until they're driving down a foggy road
And you know how the story goes
I get a call in the middle of the night

We gather round grandma's bed
The preacher's there, we bow our heads and tell her
That he's waiting for you up there

Now I say goodbye, I hold her hand
I know I'll see them both again
There's only time for one last prayer

And I can't help but smile
It's like they've planned it all the while
'Cause they're in this together

They're in this together

A little girl and a little guy
Are throwing rocks, killing time
At a school house in the country
