You keep your chin up
I wonder if Jack and Diane
ever made it
After the drums and the guitars
all faded
Was the best they could do
good enough
Or did the heartland just
swallow 'em up
How did my mom and my dad
ever do it
If there were troubles then we
never knew it
I guess they had each other
and that was enough
You know you can't keep the
ground from shakin'
No matter how hard you try
You can't keep the
sunsets from fadin'
You gotta treat your life like
You're jumpin' off a rope swing
Maybe 'cause the whole thing's
really just a shot in the dark
You gotta love
like there's no such thing
as a broken heart
You gotta love
like there's no such thing
as a broken heart
What am I gonna tell my kids
when they see
All of this ******** that
goes down on TV
When the whole world is
down on its luck
I gotta make sure they
keep that chin up
Cry when it hurts
Laugh when it's funny
Chase after the dream
Don't chase after the money
And know we got each other
and that's what's up
'Cause you can't keep the
ground from shakin'
No matter how hard you try
You can't keep the
sunsets from fadin'
You gotta treat you life like
You're jumpin' off a rope swing
Maybe 'cause the whole thing's
really just a shot in the dark
You gotta love
like there's no such thing
as a broken heart
You gotta love
like there's no such thing
as a broken heart
Yeah
You gotta love
like there's no such thing
as a broken heart
'Cause you can't keep the
ground from shakin'
No matter how hard you try
You can't keep the
sunsets from fadin'
You gotta treat you life like
You're jumpin' off a rope swing
Maybe 'cause the whole thing's
really just a shot in the dark
You gotta love
like there's no such thing
as a broken heart
You gotta love love
love love love
You gotta love love
love love yeah
You gotta love
like there's no such thing
as a broken heart
