Heartland - Built To Last Lyrics

Send "Built To Last" ringtone to your cell

I made a trip back to my hometown last week

For my grandparents' 50 year anniversary

It was black leather wingtips and big bouffant hair

Your typical senior affair

They were cutting a rug to a glen miller tune

When someone stood up and tapped a glass with a spoon

It was old eddie vickers granddaddy's best man

And his very best friend to this day

And his eyes grew misty as he raised his champagne

He said ?here's to the makers of things built to last

Like church bells and bridges and baseball on grass

Like ferguson tractors and lucchese boots

My daddy's old tools i still use?

?'the pledge of allegiance' the stars and the stripes

The words in the bible the sun in the sky

And here's to the twinkle in old married eyes

Still there after fifty years past

Here's to the makers of things built to last?

We live in a world now of plastic and glue

Disposable honor replaceable truth

If a pot breaks why fix it man what's the use?

It costs less to buy it brand new

Oh but lately i've looked in the eyes of my wife

And i see there what matters the most in this life

And i have decided i'm taking a stand

To stay on that fifty year plan

Inspired by the words of a very wise man

He said ?here's to the makers of things built to last

Like church bells and bridges and baseball on grass

Like ferguson tractors and lucchese boots

My daddy's old tools i still use?

?'the pledge of allegiance' the stars and the stripes

The words in the bible sun in the sky

And here's to the twinkle in old married eyes

Still there after fifty years past

Here's to the makers of things built to last

Here's to the makers of things built to last"
