Livin on Love, written and performed by Alan Jackson, celebrates the enduring power of simple love. Drawing inspiration from long-lasting love stories, including that of his own parents, Jackson captures the essence of a love that endures beyond material hardship and stands the test of time.
Two young people without a thing Say some vows and spread their wings And settle down to just what they need, livin' on love She don't care 'bout what's in style She just likes the way he smiles It takes more than marble and tile, livin' on love
Livin' on love, buyin' on time Without somebody nothin' ain't worth a dime Just like an old fashioned story book rhyme, livin' on love It sounds simple. That's what you're thinkin' But love can walk through fire without blinkin' It doesn't take much when you give enough, livin' on love
Two old people without a thing Children gone but still they sing Side by side in that front porch swing, livin' on love He can't see anymore She can barely sweep the floor Hand in hand they'll walk though that door, livin' on love
Livin' on love, buyin' on time Without somebody nothin' ain't worth a dime Just like an old fashioned sory book rhyme, livin' on love It sounds simple. That's what you're thinkin' But love can walk through fire without blinkin' It doesn't take much when you give enough, livin' on love No, it doesn't take much when you give enough, livin' on love
