you had a daddy who never liked me
‘cause I lived down Shanasee Road
he said, “they all crazy down that street”
and there were plenty I know
and oh, I know your mama never liked me
she flat out told you that cold
she said: “you go and be what you’re gonna be
but just remember, girl, that you been told”
we got our wedding rings
and an old used truck
a good price on that thing
but I guess we got stuck
just a little bit of money
but two good heads
always listened to you, honey
when you smiled and said:
our love is gonna to pull through
our love is gonna pull through
our love is going to pull you
into my arms every night
and I’m gonna tell you everything is all right
‘cause you got me, baby
and I’m holding you tight
our love is going to pull through
we had a baby that Spring, and cracks in the plaster
an electrical thing, some kind of attic disaster
but then, suddenly, girl, your Daddy come after
did the rewiring, man, he rebuilt all the rafters
then your momma become part of that homestead
she was the new mom-mom, singing baby to bed
so many things to be done, so many mouths to be fed
and holding our son, you smiled and you said:
our love is gonna to pull through
our love is gonna pull through
our love is going to pull you
into my arms every night
and I’m gonna tell you everything is all right
‘cause you got me, baby
and I’m holding you tight
our love is going to pull through
now we all go out to that ballpark
where that little boy is swinging that wood
both families in that ballpark
drinking beer and they’re cheering
and baby, it’s good
it’s the kind of thing that don’t take luck
it’s like anything, baby, you win with love
don’t worry about the money or what comes ahead
just listen to your honey when she says:
our love is gonna to pull through
our love is gonna pull through
our love is going to pull you
into my arms every night
and I’m gonna tell you everything is all right
‘cause you got me, baby
and I’m holding you tight
our love is going to pull through
