Lyrics Livin On Love

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
