Lyrics

Jesse spoke his first word yesterday,
Jack scraped his knee in a soccer game
Grandma passed on but she left us the farm,
A hundred twenty acres and a run-down barn

Jimmy’s son is learnin’ how to play the guitar
Says he wants to play in a rock’n’roll bar
Johnny’s wife was seen with a man downtown
Eve’rybody says she’s been foolin’ around


CHORUS
Makin’ memories, day by day
Hold some close, some lock away
We’re makin’ it through all the good and the bad
We’re just thankful for all the love we have.

Mom & Dad just celebrated fifty years
Of love and devotion and a few tears
Betty called to say she’s got one on the way
Donnie’s graduating from college in May

Uncle sold his ranch and he’s movin’ to town
Amy’s on the road, says she’s big star bound
Benny fell in love with a hometown girl
Says he’s gonna show her all around the world

CHORUS

There’s no guarantees in this life we live
We do with what we have and the love we can give
Memories are all that we can take along
So take ‘em while ya got ‘em up until their gone

CHORUS
