My grandma, she was fifteen when she married

The boy who would be my granddad

And he never, even touched her, until they said I do

And he finally took her hand

And they filled a home with children

My daddy, was the sixteenth one

And even after granddad died

She never gave another her love



They don't make'em like they used to

You don't hear stories like that these days

They don't make'em like they used to

The kind of love that last, always

Thats the kind of story

That I want to write with you too

We can make it like they used to

We can make it like they used to



My daddy, he worked two jobs

To make sure us four kids, had what we needed

And mama she taught us all

That God provided for those who believe

No we did not have much, but they made sure

We were always together

And even when times were tough

They taught us that family is forever



They don't make'em like they used to

You don't hear stories like that these days

They don't make'em like they used to

The kind of love that last, always

Thats the kind of story

That I want to write with you too

We can make it like they used to

We can make it like they used to



We are writing our story line by line

The good and bad times

And I pray we never stop

Until the last chaper is closed on this life

And when our grandchildren

Pull our memory off of the shelf

I hope they see, we fought for things that mattered

And we loved till our last breath

May they say



They don't make'em like they used to

You don't hear stories like that these days

They don't make'em like they used to

The kind of love that last, always

Thats the kind of story

That I want to write with you too

We can make it like they used to

We can make it like they used to

We can make it like they used to

We will make it like they used to
