Livin' on Love

Alan Jackson · Original Album Classics [2011]

(Alan Jackson)



Two young people without a thing

Say some vows and spread their wings

And settle down with just what they need

Livin' on love.



She don't care 'bout what's in style

She just likes the way he smiles

It takes more than marble and tile

Livin' on love.



Livin' on love, buyin' on time

Without somebody nothing ain't worth a dime

Just like an old fashion story book rhyme

Livin' on love.

It sounds simple, that's what you're thinkin'

But love can walk through fire without blinkin'

It doesn't take much when you get enough

Livin' on love.



--- Instrumental ---



Two old people without a thing

Children gone but still they sing

Side by side in that front porch swing

Livin' on love.



He can't see anymore

She can barely sweep the floor

Hand in hand they'll walk through that door

Just livin' on love.



Livin' on love, buyin' on time

Without somebody nothing ain't worth a dime

Just like an old fashion story book rhyme

Livin' on love.

It sounds simple that's what you're thinkin'

But love can walk through fire without blinkin'

It doesn't take much when you get enough

Livin' on love.



Livin' on love, buyin' on time

Without somebody nothing ain't worth a dime

Just like an old fashion story book rhyme

Livin' on love.

It sounds simple that's what you're thinkin'

But love can walk through fire without blinkin'

It doesn't take much when you get enough

Livin' on love.



No, it doesn't take much when you get enough

Livin' on love...
