This old road of love ain't for Sunday drivers
Has very few survivors in a world of hit and run
But we cared enough to hold on to each other
We pulled the load together and look how far we've come
Our love is solid as a rock like the moon and stars
We built our love to last like old Henry Ford builds cars
Not one that falls apart after once around the block
Our love is solid as a rock
Through the years we've learned good things don't come easy
And life's a little crazy and nothin's ever free
All the tears and turns ain't no bed of roses
But we're about as close as two hearts could ever be
Our love is solid as a rock like the moon and stars
We built our love to last like old Henry Ford builds cars
Not one that falls apart after once around the block
Our love is solid as a rock
Our love is solid as a rock, not once around the block
With sound 'round the clock and solid as a
Our love is solid as a rock, not once around the block
With sound 'round the clock and solid as a rock
