You Get A Love Song - Lori McKenna
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 19
In a hand-me-down dress with a pawn shop ring
For having no money for a honeymoon
Cuz 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
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 6 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
You don't get much - no no
But 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
