You Get a Love Song

Well, they ain't gonna make a movie
 About a couple of fools like us
 No one's gonna write a book about our little love
 You don't get your picture on the local front page
 For falling in love at a reckless age, no no
 For saying 'I do' when you're nineteen
 In a hand-me-down dress with a pawn shop ring
 For having no money for a honeymoon
 'Cause you're saving it up for the baby boom
 For knowing a love dies hard
 When it starts this young
 Well, you don't get much, no no
 But you get a love song
 Well, this Sunday's sermon won't mention
 All the work we put into this love
 They ain't gonna hang a billboard congratulating us
 For surviving every rise and fall
 For being more hard headed than a wrecking ball
 No no, no no
 For letting me chase a hopeless dream
 For giving up on trying to change me
 For drinking your way so far down
 I almost thought I couldn't pull you out
 But knowing the only thing harder
 Than letting go is holding on
 Well, you don't get much, no no
 But you get a love song, you get a love song
 Oh, you get a love song, you get a love song
 Next time a hurricane comes through
 They won't name it after us
 And how could you paint a picture
 That looked anything like love
 The six o'clock news don't give a damn
 That by the grace of God we worked it out again
 By the grace of God
 For working overtime and living week to week
 For letting your dreams fall into me
 For being a man with a damn good heart
 I'm gonna hold you through the hardest parts
 For being a love that will last even after life is gone
 Well, you don't get much, no no, no no
 You get a love song, you get a love song
 You get a love song, you get a love song
 You get a love song, ooh ooh love song
