Alabama - Between The Two Of Them

They married back in '32


They were young and love was new


And every day the feeling grew


Between the two of them


When work grew scarce and times got bad


The hope would chase away the sad


And hope was sometimes all they had


Between the two of them





The 40's came and the 50's went


And the mortgage replaced the rent


They made the most of each day spent


Between the two of them


Their children all turned out just fine


So he retired in '69


And left with oh so little time


Between the two of them





Today I brave the graveyard rain


And placed a rose between their names


Now that's the most that ever came


Between the two of them





And though I miss them oh so much


His crooked smile her gentle touch


And the pleasure of just growing up


Between the two of them
