"don't break your back for me," she said



17

Without hesitation



28

All these things we don't need, and



1b

Two saved up vacations



5





29

Well don't you recall mornings spent



1a

Half naked in a fray?



18

Fighting over money



1e

Wishing we could run away

b

Chorus

(from) washing saturdays and ironing tuesdays (x2)

27

Once we had just one room to share



19

But now we have many



25

But i'll work just as hard as if



17

We didn't have any



5





25

Well i'd relive the blunders and



1c

Mistakes that i've made



28

And sacrifice the precious, useless



1a

Money that i've saved

11

Chorus (for)



5





25

I could have given up hope (and)



21

We could have split up (but)



20

Boxes of laundry soap (and)



18

Babies that spit up



15

Kept us together



5





22

All of these luxuries we have



1c

They're just ornamental



24

And whether we have them or not



2a

We can still afford to be sentimental



5





30

'bout times that try us, times that make us



19

Work just to survive



25

Ties that bind us, and remind us



1b

That we're still alive



5





12

Repeat chorus
