Struggling Years

We had our fill of old junk cars and unpaid bills

But our love was clear in the struggling years

Up against the world four young boys and our little girl

We fought life's fears in the struggling years

And hard times came easy and so did the tears

Strong were the ties that bound you and I in the struggling years

Time brought success and I always said you'd have the best

But the times we hold dear are the struggling years

And when the kids are grown and startin' out on their own

We'll miss them here and the struggling years

And hard times came easy...

Strong are the ties that bind you and I thank the struggling years
