Lyrics
Verse 1
Pink slip came today, foreman said there was no other way,
Looked down at my shoes wondering if they'd ever take me home.
Finally made it feeling down on my luck, I could barely get out of my truck.
But when I told you, you just took me by the hand and said,
Chorus
"Honey just hold me tight, we'll get through this it'll be all right.
What ever we need, that's what we'll do."
That's when I knew,
I could make a living loving you.
Verse 2
I remember the day we fell in love, high school prom, so damn young,
Shirt too tight, pants too long, your dad staring at me at the door.
Sayin' "Son, get her home by 10 o'clock, I felt just like a sitting duck.
Sweat poured out, but then you took me by the hand and said.
Chorus
Bridge
Days turned into years, success was finally in our grasp.
But then the doctor told us this year might be your last.
I was so angry,
But I knew my time had finally come,
To be the one to take your hand,
And say that you're my only one.
"Honey just hold me tight, we'll get through this it'll be all right.
What ever you need, that's what we'll do."
That's when I knew,
I could make a living.
I could keep you living loving you.
