Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Worked all his life in the rail yards Summer heat, winter cold He sits by the fire, this year he'll retire He don't really feel all that old She comes in from the kitchen Sits on the arm of his chair He looks up and says, "hey, lady, I love you" Runs his fingers through her hair There's a picture on the wall of Jesus in the garden It's been there since they got the house in '53 It ain't no big deal, won't ever go down in history It's just a little story of an American family She waited for him in World War Two He fought the European campaign Their son John spent two years in Nam That war, it wasn't the same Billy's out in L.A., he's a lawyer now They worry he's so far away Jeannie got married, she lives here in town They're comin' over with the kids today There's a picture on the wall of Jesus in the garden It's been there since they got the house in '53 It ain't no big deal, won't ever go down in history It's just a little story of an American family It's just a little story of an American family
