Lyrics

We Had It All
John Philippe Legg © 2005

In an old one story, two bedroom home
With cracks in the floors and walls of stone
It never dawned on us we were growin? up in poverty

Cause on twenty-two acres of drought-prone land
With too little soil and too much sand
That?s where the seeds were sown
Of my family?and

Four little feet got planted firmly on that ground
Raised with more than enough love to go around

If we were poor we never knew it
If times were tough, we got right through it
Yaaa? even though the money was tight
We thanked the good Lord every night

For what we had been given
Was a pretty darn good livin?
No we never had a lot as I recall
But in what mattered most?we had it all

Mama kept us fed and clean
And worked wonders with her sewing machine
Daddy built our self-esteem and pride in who we were

And I lived my high school dream
Playin? tight end on the football-team
While Jenny got what she deserved
Straight ?A?s? every year?yaaaa

We had some big ideas in that little town
Raised in arms of love that never let us down

If we were poor we never knew it
If times were tough, we got right through it
Yaaa? even though the money was tight
We thanked the good Lord every night

For what we had been given
Was a pretty darn good livin?
No we never had a lot as I recall
But in what mattered most we had it all

Lead?????????????????????????????????.

Chorus and turn-around finale?
