Tougher (Grandma & Grandpa's Song)
Brett Kissel

A little girl and a little guy

Are throwing rocks, killing time at recess

At a school house in the country


She throws a wild one way too far

Breaks the window of the teacher’s car

And the teardrops just start falling


So he holds her hand

And says don’t be sad

We’re in this together


The world turns 15 times

That same girl and that same guy

Oh man and they’re farming in the 50’s


There’s chores to do and bills to pay

There’s a second baby on the way

That spring the hard times sure are many


She holds him close at night

Says it’ll be alright

‘Cause we’re in this together


And that just shows the strength of love

And somehow from the Lord above

They knew they had better days in store


They had nothing but their hat and home

But somehow they survived that fall

They don’t make em like that anymore


A few decades fly right past

They made some money, bought some land

And built a big house for the family


He drove tractors, she talked school

They never even got a honeymoon

But ask em and they’d tell you they were happy


He never lost a bit of work

But she’d make him go to church


‘Cause they’re in this together


There’s no doubt there were tough times

And I can’t judge if you try to find some answers

At the bottom of a bottle


But she made a vow through thick and thin

She never once gave up on him

Though I’m sure they had at least 1000 problems


So when he checked in

He walked out a different man

And said “we’re in this together”


57 years, they come and go

Kids get married, children grow

Then grandkids come and fill their hearts with pride


Until they’re driving down a foggy road

And you know how the story goes

I get a call in the middle of the night


We gather round grandma’s bed

The preacher’s there, we bow our heads and tell her

That he’s waiting for you up there


Now I say goodbye, I hold her hand

I know I’ll see them both again

There’s only time for one last prayer


And I can’t help but smile

It’s like they’ve planned it all the while

‘Cause they’re in this together


They’re in this together


A little girl and a little guy

Are throwing rocks, killing time

At a school house in the country
