Never Give Up On It

Where did the time go
Two kids at the prime yeah they were livin
Just a high class broad
And a down home beer chugging musician

It wasn't a cake walk
There were many who desired her favor
He carved out a space in her heart
On a spearmint lifesaver
She was a bright light
And her rebellion encompassed his nature

And in those times they found
Joy, so bold
When your loved it just can't be controlled
Like a riff that hits deep in your soul
You'd never give up on it

They found themselves moving
From the east coast to the west
Her parents never gave their blessing
They'll come around eventually I guess
They had themselves two boys
A loving home to build a dream
Holidays at Dairy Queen
Money was tight but the love was all they'd need

And boy, it came
A soliloquy after refrain
As if happiness showed you the way
To cut through all of youth's malaise
And joy, so bold
When your loved It just can't be controlled
Like a riff that hits deep in your soul
You'd never give up on it
Never give up on it

You've got a lot of nerve standing up to the darkness
To say positivity conquers all fears
And if all of their years are leading up
To passing on the things that they've learned
Now all of their children are all grown up
And they wanted you to know that they've heard
Loud and clear

I'd say they made it
A one in a million shot that founds it's way
From the first look they ever exchanged
To counting all the wisdom in their grays
Love like a river
Them two Honeybunnies turned the tide
From a busted-up Pontiac ride
To a new pickleball court in their drive

And boy, they say
Good health is the true wealth these days
And belief is all it takes
Keep cutting out sugar just to be safe
And Joy, so bold
When your loved It just can't be controlled
Like a riff that hits deep in your soul
You'd never give up on it

Oh joy, so bold
When your loved it just can't be controlled
Like a riff that hits deep in your soul
You'd never give up on it
