An American Family
Lyricist:Bob Corbin
Worked all his life in the rail yards Summer heat, winter cold He sits by the fire, now he's retired But he don't really feel all that old
She comes in from the kitchen And sits on the arm of his chair He looks up and says, ‽Hey, lady, I love you†Runs his fingers through her hair
And there's a picture on the wall of Jesus in the garden It's been there since they got the house in '53 Hey, they ain't no big deal whatever go down in history It's just a little story of an American family
She waited for him in World War two He fought the European campaign Their son John spent two years in Nam That war it wasn't the same

And there's a picture on the wall of Jesus in the garden It's been there since they got the house in '53 Hey, there ain't no big deal, whatever go down in history It's just a little story of an American family
But the whole world is different now Blood's been spilled on our shores In hard times we pull together That's what a family's for
Hey, there ain't no big deal It's written in our history We're all part of the story of an American family We're all part of the story of an American family
