Making a Life Together

[couchgrouch]

Making a Life TogetherWe were always diff'rentthan lotsa high school kidsthey'd be thinkin' of game daycheerleader pyramidsand showing off their driver's licensebut nearly ev'ry weekendI'd borrow my old man's Fordwe'd park out in the booniesclimb on that Merlot billboardtalk about new horizonsand making a life togetherletting two paths be onefeeling the call of foreverand wanting the joy that comesfrom making a life togetherremember how we struggledin that trailer parktwo channels on our antennaeour calenders filled with markscrossing off payments on our Chevybut the night we got our new homewe turned the light downyou smiled and poured us Merlotslipped off your t-shirt nightgownand said we've been making a livingbut let's start making a life togetherletting two breaths be onefeeling the call of foreverand wanting the joy that comesfrom making a life togetherwe stenciled Winnie the Pooh, Roo and Tigger, tooon our daughter's bedroom wallthere's bibs in the hamper, boxes of Pampersand our hearts fly just watching her crawlsome folks go through life with doubtsbut we've learned living's aboutmaking a life togetherletting our paths be onefeeling the call of foreverand wanting the joy that comesfrom making a life together(c)2005 Robert George
