《An American Family(Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] An American Family (A Gospel Journey Album Version) - The Oak Ridge Boys

[00:00:19] Worked all his life in the rail yards

[00:00:23] Summer heat winter cold

[00:00:27] He sits by the fire now he's retired

[00:00:32] But he don't really feel all that old

[00:00:37] She comes in from the kitchen

[00:00:41] And sits on the arm of his chair

[00:00:46] He looks up and says hey lady I love you

[00:00:50] Runs his fingers through her hair

[00:00:56] And there's a picture on the wall of Jesus in the garden

[00:01:05] It's been there since they got the house in fifty-three

[00:01:16] Hey they ain't no big deal whatever go down in history

[00:01:25] It's just a little story of an American family

[00:01:35] She waited for him in world war two

[00:01:40] He fought the European campaign

[00:01:45] Their son John spent two years in nam

[00:01:49] That war it wasn't the same

[00:01:54] Billy's out in L A he's a lawyer now

[00:01:58] They worry he's so far away

[00:02:03] Jeannie got married and lives here in town

[00:02:07] She's coming over with the kids today

[00:02:13] And there's a picture on the wall of Jesus in the garden

[00:02:22] It's been there since they got the house in fifty-three

[00:02:33] Hey there ain't no big deal whatever go down in history

[00:02:42] It's just a little story of an American family

[00:02:53] But the whole world is different now

[00:02:57] Blood's been spilled on our shores

[00:03:01] In hard times we pull together

[00:03:06] That's what a family's for

[00:03:13] Hey there ain't no big deal

[00:03:17] It's written in our history

[00:03:22] We're all part of the story of an American family

[00:03:31] We're all part of the story of an American family
