I wonder if Jack and Diane ever made it,

After the drums and the guitars all faded.

Was the best they could do good enough



Or did the heartland just swallow em up



How did my mom and my dad ever do it,

If there were troubles then we never knew it.

I guess they had each other and that was enough



You know you can't keep the ground from shaking



No matter how hard you try

You can't keep the sunsets from fading

You gotta treat you love like

Your jumping off a rope swing maybe cause the whole thing is really just a shot in the dark

You gotta love like there's no such thing as a broken heart

You gotta love like there's no such thing as a broken heart



What am I gonna tell my kids when they see

All of this bullshit that goes down on TV

When the whole world is down on its luck

I gotta make sure they keep that chin up



Cry when it hurts, laugh when it's funny

Chase after the dream don't chase after the money

And know we got each other, that's whats up



Cause you can't keep the ground from shaking,

No matter how hard you try

You can't keep the sunsets from fading

You gotta treat you love like

Your jumping off a rope swing maybe cause the whole thing is really just a shot in the dark

You gotta love like there's no such thing as a broken heart

You gotta love like there's no such thing as a broken heart



You gotta love like there's no such thing as a broken heart



Cause you can't keep the ground from shaking

No matter how hard you try

You can't keep the sunsets from fading

You gotta treat you love like

Your jumping off a rope swing maybe cause the whole thing is really just a shot in the dark

You gotta love like there's no such thing as a broken heart

You gotta love love love love...

You gotta love love love love...

You gotta love like there's no such thing as a broken heart
