Текст песни
You met her at the bank when you were paying your bills
She was a nervous little girl with golden curls
You took her on a date somewhere uptown
When you dropped her off she said see you around
Ooh, it took a few years cutting the walls down
Yeah, 'cause nothing comes easy in a one church town
You settled out of town in a highway house
You used the money that they gave her when they bought her out
She went back to school to get a degree
You got a job welding pot for the army
Then a paper that your father signed years ago
Turned a little man's dream into a money hole
If you didn't know then daddy now you know
Some men don't mind making other men poor
Ooh, run daddy run, you got a kid on the way
Yeah, don't give up now
'Cause nothing comes easy in a one church town
Two kids in the yard and another on the way
She's sitting by her mother's side begging her to stay
There was talk that you shoulda sued the chemical plant
But there wasn't no price that could bring her back
And you just keep living through the good and the bad
Well there ain't no dream that was bigger than that
Ooh, we all learn so hard that life must prevail
Ooh, don't give up now
'Cause nothing comes easy in a one church town
Ooh, don't give up now
'Cause nothing lives down in a one church town
