Everybody say we wouldn't make it baby Love don't live around here much lately Times are hard and hearts break like the bank, Ah yes they do Lots of reasons just to give it on up Leave your soul on the shelf, collectin' dust Livin' a world of broken promises and empty tanks Oh but look at us Look at us with a picket fence Don't got a lot of money but we're making a dent Old Ford truck with a dog in the back Now ain't we livin' the dream Big blue sky, green, green grass Ain't doin' half bad for a half full glass Kiss me baby yeah just like that now Ain't we livin' a dream Put on a little old Keith medley Back porch dancin' singing with me I'm no stranger to the rain, oh no he ain't Pour a little bit of homemade wine Make some love, take our sweet time Why the hell do we complain Look at us with a picket fence Don't got a lot of money but we're making a dent Old Ford truck with a dog in the back Now ain't we livin' the dream Big blue sky, green, green grass Ain't doin' half bad for a half full glass Kiss me baby yeah just like that now Ain't we livin' a dream, oh yeah, oh baby Ain't we livin' a dream Look at us we got a life out here Outlaws, in-laws, coolers of beer A spot on the wall to hang last year's deer Now ain't we livin' a dream Red white and blue flag hangin' Kids in the back, just a tire swangin' Fireworks are boom and bangin' Now ain't we livin' a dream Look at us with a picket fence Don't got a lot of money but we're making a dent Old Ford truck with a dog in the back Now ain't we livin' the dream Big blue sky, green, green grass Ain't doin' bad for a half full glass Kiss me baby yeah just like that now Ain't we livin' a dream Oh oh, yeah They said we'd never make it baby Love don't live around here much lately What do you think about that?
