We Called It Everything But Quits

We called it ‘trouble’
When the bills were overdue
Worried, sick
Didn’t think that we’d pull through

When that old car
Was too run down to be fixed
We called it everything but quits

We called it ‘hard times’
When the crops just wouldn’t grow
Prayed for rain
Looked like the answer was, no
Up came a storm
That blew the barn to bits
We called it everything but quits

We called it, ‘God’s Will’
When daddy passed away
We cried together
Kneeling at his grave
It sure looked hopeless
When the barn could not be saved
We called it everything but quits

They called us ‘crazy’
When we married in our teens
Lookin’ back
Love was strong, years were lean
At times we felt like givin’ up
Thank God, we never did
We called it everything but quits

We called it, ‘God’s Will’
When daddy passed away
We cried together
Kneeling at his grave
It sure looked hopeless
When the barn could not be saved
We called it everything but quits

La-da, da-da-da
La-da-da, da-da, da-da
La-da-da
La-da-da, da-da, da-da

La-da-da, da-da, da-da
La-da, da-da, da-da
We called it everything but quits
La-da-da
