We Can Make It, No Matter What

[Verse 1]
He said, “I still remember
That tiny apartment on Ridgeway Lane”
She laughed, “We had one good skillet
And a mattress on a metal frame”
Unpaid bills on the table
Rain in a bucket on the floor
But you held my hand in the dark
Said, “Baby, we’ll find something more”
[Chorus]
Look how far we’ve come, just me and you
From patching up the roof
To painting that front porch blue
Every storm that tried to break us
Only tied this knot tighter than it was
We can make it, no matter what
(we can make it, no matter what)
[Verse 2]
She said, “You still drive me crazy
When you leave your boots in the hall”
He said, “You still steal the covers
And my side of the bed in the fall”
Kids’ shoes by the doorway
Wedding photo in a crooked frame
We’ve been stuck, we’ve been blessed
But I’d do every day the same
[Chorus]
Look how far we’ve come, just me and you
From crying in the driveway
To laughing ‘til the skies turned blue
Every fight that almost broke us
Only taught our hearts how to trust
We can make it, no matter what
(we can make it, no matter what)
[Bridge]
When the good days feel so fragile
When the bad ones feel too long
We remember who we promised
When we put these rings on
Hand in hand at the altar
Scared to death and brave as love
We said those words forever
And forever’s not giving up
[Chorus]
Look how far we’ve come, just me and you
From “I do” in a borrowed church
To this house with our muddy boots
Every road that runs before us
We’ll walk it ‘til the wheels fall off of us
We can make it, no matter what
We can make it, no matter what
(you and me, that’s enough)
We can make it, no matter what
