Tougher (Grandma & Grandpa's Song)
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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com '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
