In a pickup truck, we bought in 1962
And paid each month, till, it belonged to me and you
The cardboard boxes in the back, hold everything we own
Things we've saved for sixteen years, to start a brand new home
We're holding sixteen years of love, in cardboard boxes
Sixteen years of laughter, sweat and tears
We've stacked the back with happiness, sadness, love, and cheer
Things we've saved together, sixteen years
We sold our little dreamhouse, on a small, six-acre farm
And said, "Goodbye", to friends we'll miss, and fields of golden corn
In our search for city life, where pay is big, and jobs are fine
Sixteen years of love and tears, following behind
We're holding sixteen years of love, in cardboard boxes
Sixteen years of laughter, sweat and tears
We've stacked the back with happiness, sadness, love, and cheer
Things we've saved together, sixteen years
Oh, the things we've saved together, sixteen years
