An American Family |
| Worked all his life in the railyards |
| Summer heat winter cold |
| He sits by the fire, this year heў‚¬"ўll retire |
| Though he doesnў‚¬"ўt really feel all that old |
| She comes in from the kitchen |
| And sits on the arm of his chair |
| He looks up and says ў‚¬"hey lady I love youў‚¬ќ |
| And runs his fingers through her hair |
| And thereў‚¬"ўs a picture on the wall of Jesus in the garden |
| Itў‚¬"ўs been there since they got the house in ў‚¬"ў53 |
| Hey they ainў‚¬"ўt no big deal, ainў‚¬"ўt gonna go down in history |
| Itў‚¬"ўs just a little story of an American family |
| She waited for him in World War 11 |
| He fought the European campaign |
| Their sin John spent two years in ў‚¬"Nam |
| But that war wasnў‚¬"ўt the same |
| Billyў‚¬"ўs out in L.A. |
| Heў‚¬"ўs a lawyer now |
| They worry he;s so far away |
| Jeannie got married |
| And lives there in town |
| Theyў‚¬"ўre cominў‚¬"ў over with the kids today |
| And thereў‚¬"ўs a picture on the wall of Jesus in the garden |
| Itў‚¬"ўs been there since they got the house in ў‚¬"ў53 |
| Hey they ainў‚¬"ўt no big deal, ainў‚¬"ўt gonna go down in history |
| Itў‚¬"ўs just a little story of an American family |
