She was due in May
He was seventeen
So he dropped out of school
To start a family
They never had a chance
To take the easy road
They didn't have a clue
It was learn as you go
And on their wedding day
Nobody said much of anything at all
Sometimes it feels like everyone
Is just standing back
Waiting for you to fall
It's a long way
From here to where the sun shines
They don't mind the hard times
Cause their love is strong
A long way
But they'll just keep on climbing
Cause they know the silver lining
Is up there somewhere
Somewhere up there
One year turned into five
They kept holding it together
The flame had never died
Despite the wind and weather
They both had made their own mistakes
Just like their mom's and daddy's made before
They found out if you keep the faith
It keeps the devil from breaking down the door
And it's a long way
From here to where the sun shines
They don't mind the hard times
Cause their love is strong
A long way
But they'll just keep on climbing
Cause they know the silver lining
Is up there somewhere
Somewhere up there
