LYRICS
Down at the local bank, he climbed that ladder
Chasing a better life was all that mattered
She was a teacher, worked nights at the diner
Always had a lot of irons in the fire
They got married at the First Baptist Church
Took a vow for better or worse
She could hear her Daddy, whisperin’ from Heaven
Put on that ring, you both where you’re headed”
Didn’t have much but they had their share
It was a simple life but it was “theirs”
CHORUS
To hell with the naysayers
Who said it wouldn’t last
To hell with the tough times
They left ‘em in the past
Sometimes it was harder than it was fair
Just a little corner of the world
But it was theirs
Prayed for a boy and a girl, and they got
A beauty queen and a green-eyed blonde jock
Football, barbecues, parties on the River
All-American Norman Rockwell picture
Good times, bad times, a wing and a prayer
They made a family
And it was theirs
CHORUS
To hell with the naysayers
Who said it wouldn’t last
To hell with the tough times
They left ‘em in the past
Sometimes it was harder than it was fair
Just a little corner of the world
But it was theirs
