lyrics

There’s a tired old couple in a street cafe
They’re quiet together and happy that way
He looks at her, he understands
When she looks confused then he takes her hand

The great depression, two world wars
And raising kids and losing homes
She looks at him she understand
When he looks defeated she takes his hand

They used to make out in her daddies car
Or in the shadow of his parents door
Everyone knew they went all the way
Some people thought they’d get married one day

And you know that’s what they did
Their wedding vows were “The hell with it”
They honeymooned across state lines
Then setting up shop at a five and dime

They stuck together through thick and thin
The years rolled by, where they been
Once he got mad, threatened to leave
And once she threw all his shit in the street

When life’s too smooth, you’ll fall down
And when things get rocky just hold your ground
There’s fighting and kissing and making demands
And to settle it down, just hold hands

Theres a tired old couple in a street cafe
They’re quiet together and happy that way
he looks at her he understand
she looks at him and she takes his hand
