Forever & Always Lyrics

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
