We survived when you got busted back in '74 you took everything we had and swept it out the door you had a foolproof plan only a fool would believe and I waited three long years for you to come back to me Chorus: it broke us but we survived hard times we survived we always took the fast lane anytime we hit the road I was a junkie for the wind and you were addicted to the hope but baby we closed our eyes for one too many turns with nobody's hand at the wheel we crashed and burned Chorus so darlin' don't try to tell me now you don't feel tired I've seen the way you stuble when you drink your homemade wine and if you won't talk to me we won't survive hard times we won't survive with your back to me and your foot half out the door darlin' can you tell me what twenty five years are for I can only wait so long for you to decide so come on walk back in and we'll survive Chorus
