“These are some good lyrics, real and conversational, like how people really talk.
Kinda like that last little funky chord change at the end.
It’s got good meat on the bones.”

Lyrics:

                                                  
THE LIFE WE KNOW AND LOVE

[H – Husband; W – Wife; B – Both]

VERSE 1 - (Husband)

H ....... Work wants an answer Monday morning 
	If I accept we'd have to move
	We can't ignore that kind of money
	So much to gain so much to lose
	A company car a yearly bonus
	I'd love to make my daddy proud
	But our folks would miss their grandkids
	'cause we'd no longer be around

CHORUS 1 - (Both)

B ...... The Life We Know and Love 
	How much is enough
	When the chance we take is on 
	The Life We Know and Love

VERSE 2 - (Wife)

W ...... We’d have to cancel Danny’s baseball
	Joanna’s dancing classes too
	Mary Kate’s improved all A's and B's
	They'd be strangers in new schools
	You've worked hard you deserve it
	Baby I need you to see
	We’d be halfway 'cross the country
	I don’t know if I can leave
 
CHORUS 2 - (Both)

B ....... The Life We Know and Love 
	How much is enough
	When the chance we take is on 
	The Life We Know and Love

BRIDGE - (Husband)

H ...... If I let it pass will this be my last chance to get ahead

1/2 VERSE 3 - (Wife)

W ...... We can always use the money
	It’s not easy raising three
	If you say yes I guess 
	That’s okay with me

1/2 VERSE 3 - (Husband)

H ...... They’ll have their answer Monday morning
	I don’t like to let them down
	But we’re not moving to the city
	‘Cause I’m in love with you and this old town

CHORUS 3 - (Both)

B ....... The Life We Know and Love
	The Life We Know and Love
          	I have all I need with you in
	The Life We Know and Love
