Lyrics We're All in This Together Now - John Paul White, Rosanne Cash

We're All in This Together Now

Daddy was a Baptist
And your momma loved to dance
You were born in Memphis
But you lived Paris, France
You may lose your faith in everything
Or you may take a solemn vow
But from this day on, my friends and folk
We’re all in this together now
You may love the carousel
Or the silence of the trees
You may be the last one standing
Or the queen of all you see
And some rest easy on the mountain
And some sweat behind the plow
But make no mistake for heaven’s sake
We’re all in this together now
Night will fall, the wind will howl
All those things we love so well
Empires crumble while we sleep
Oh, but you must have a story to tell
Wake up now
I wanna hear it
Wake up now
I love you like a brother
And I don’t know you at all
Heard you voice across the wire
And I never thought you’d call
So, hold tight the sword, hold fast the sail
'Cause we need be taken down
It’s a lonely world
But it’s our only world
And we’re all in this together now
