Lyrics

Sometimes life don?t workout quite the way you want it too
Like the life I?ve got right now since I married you
Although I know you know I love you
I know you know it?s true
We couldn?t see the detour signs the day we said ?I do?
Cause we?re still?

Flat broke and busted
And I know you trusted I?d have the car paid off by now
But don?t you be blue babe
Cause I?ve still got some faith
I?ll find another job somehow
Although the gas and the electric?s overdue
All the years of love we?ve shared stands as living proof
When the going gets tough we can live on love

If we knew then what we know now I think you would agree
We may have hesitated there under that wedding tree
But I want you to know I love you whatever state we?re in
And I would sign that dotted line one hundred times again
Though we?re still?

Flat broke and busted
Your dishwasher?s rusted
And I need a new pair of tennis shoes
The doctor?s been living there in hog heaven
And the IRS demands a tax review
We both know the real strength we have is the Lord
Once again we?ll see him carry us once more
So when the going gets tough we can live on love

We can calculate the things we?re gonna do
We can estimate the dreams that will come true
But still we find the more that time keeps on moving on
O?l Murfy?s sure to come along and flush them down the John
And we?re still?

Flat broke and busted
Now you?re disgusted the rain just watered your flowers through the roof
I may be dreaming but I hope this misfortune and Lady Luck will somehow make a truce
Though we may never become millionaires one day
There is still something that we can still take to the bank
The goings gonna get tough
We gotta live on love
