《An American Family》歌词

[00:00:00] An American Family - The Oak Ridge Boys

[00:00:10] Worked all his life in the railyards

[00:00:14] Summer heat winter cold

[00:00:19] He sits by the fire now he'll retire

[00:00:23] Though he doesn't really feel all that old

[00:00:29] She comes in from the kitchen

[00:00:33] And sits on the arm of his chair

[00:00:37] He looks up and says "hey lady I love you"

[00:00:42] And runs his fingers through her hair

[00:00:48] And there's a picture on the wall of Jesus in the garden

[00:00:58] It's been there since they got the house in '53

[00:01:08] Hey they ain't no big deal ain't gonna go down in history

[00:01:17] It's just a little story of an American family

[00:01:28] She waited for him in World War Ⅱ

[00:01:32] He fought the European campaign

[00:01:37] Their son John spent two years in "Nam"

[00:01:42] But that war wasn't the same

[00:01:46] Billy's out in L A

[00:01:48] He's a lawyer now

[00:01:51] They worry he's so far away

[00:01:56] Jeannie got married

[00:01:58] And lives there in town

[00:02:00] They're comin' over with the kids today

[00:02:06] And there's a picture on the wall of Jesus in the garden

[00:02:16] It's been there since they got the house in '53

[00:02:26] Hey they ain't no big deal ain't gonna go down in history

[00:02:35] It's just a little story of an American family

[00:02:47] But the whole world is different now

[00:02:51] Blood's been spilled on our shores

[00:02:56] In hard times we pull together

[00:03:01] That's what a family's for

[00:03:08] Hey there ain't no big deal

[00:03:12] It's written in our history

[00:03:17] We're all part of the story of an American family

[00:03:26] We're all part of the story of an American family
