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
