Forever & Always

Throw it back, mom and dad, Summer 89'
Jean's waitin' tables, working late, barely scrapin' by
Not a dollar to her name but he don't mind
Dan's counting pennies, saving money trying to buy a ring
In hopes that someday he'll say "Jean, will you marry me?"
Not a dollar to his name but they're just fine

Now here we are, it's kind of funny how shit always changes
So maybe if we talk about the world and how's it falling apart
We won't let it slip away

I don't know what life has in store or the places that it plans to take us
Through wind and rain, snow and sleet
I'll be there to keep you on your feet
I hope that someday we'll build our own family
You know right where I'll stay, forever and always

Take it back, once again, winter 93'
Dan's now the biggest thing this tiny town has ever seen
Dollar signs in his name but he don't mind
Bought a house with a view on East side of town
While Jean's at home raising the kids, holding it all down
Dollar signs in their name and they're just fine

Now here we are, it's kind of funny
Money didn't change shit
So maybe we can talk about the world and how it's falling apart
Cause we won't let this slip slip away

I don't know what life has in store or the places that it plans to take us
Through wind and rain, snow and sleet
I'll be there to keep you on your feet
I hope that one day, we'll build our own family
You know right where I'll stay, forever and always

Not a dollar to their name or a chance in hell
Came from nothing, went and made something of themselves
Dan and Jean, they gave the family everything
And I can't wait to someday have the chance to do the same

I don't know what life has in store or the places that it plans to take us
Through wind and rain, snow and sleet
I'll be there to keep you on your feet
I hope that someday we'll build our own family
You know right where I'll stay, forever and always
