On the riverbanks of the old Tennessee
We were skipping rocks, so young and free
Every ripple on the water was a year we’d be
Growing old, together you and me
When that old oak tree’s colours start to fade
I know this love will never change
When you love someone with all you are
It doesn’t matter what comes your way
When it’s time to pull through
We just do, yea we just do
You and me had dreams of leaving this town
We grew up way too fast and settled down
Another year went by, another mouth to feed
Seven kids, together you and me
When they ask us now what the secret is
To keeping love so strong, and faith like this
Yea we say love someone with all you are
Yea we say love someone with all you are
It doesn’t matter what comes your way
When it’s time to pull through
Yea we just do
Yea we just do
Baby me and you
