Lyrics

I saw pictures when they were young, holding hands and all dressed up. Just sixteen, no wrinkled eyes, standing straight with two big ol smiles. I wonder how they'd feel about the world today and where it's going, I wonder what they'd say....

Chorus

Grandma and Grandpa used to tuck us in, we'd sit down for dinner and they'd ask us how we've been. Grandpa showed us everything we know and Grandma showed us how love's supposed to flow. You never break it off, you always work it out, you'll never see forever if you put the fire out. I want a love like they had, my mom's mom and dad.

I grew up in a broken home, just a boy when my dad was gone. I guess it's better than fighting all through the night, I couldn't go to sleep hearing mama crying. I wish they had tried just a little more and thought about us kids listening through the door.

Chorus
Grandma and Grandpa used to tuck us in, we'd sit down for dinner and they'd ask us how we've been. Grandpa showed us everything we know and Grandma showed us how love supposed to flow. You never break it off, you always work it out, you'll never see forever if you put the fire out. I want a love like they had, my mom's mom and dad.

Now I have pictures of me and my wife, and our two boys, and four big old smiles. Sure times get tough, or we disagree, but we work it out like Grandma showed me. And I made a vow to my wife and kids that they'd sing this song different than I did. They'll sing...

Mom and Dad always tuck us in, we sit down for dinner and they ask us how we've been. My dad showed us everything we know and mama showed us how loves supposed to flow. You never break it off, you always work it out, you'll never see forever if you put the fire out. Now I want a love like they had, my mom and dad, my mom and dad.
