(Bob Corbin)

Worked all his life in the railyards
Summer heat winter cold
He sits by the fire, this year he`ll retire
Though he doesn`t really feel all that old.

She comes in from the kitchen
And sits on the arm of his chair
He looks up and says "Hey lady I love you."
And runs his fingers through her hair.

And there`s a picture on the wall of Jesus in the garden
It`s been there since they got the house in `53
Hey, they ain`t no big deal, ain`t gonna go down in history
It`s just a little story of an American family.

She waited for him in World War II
He fought the European campaign
Their son John spent two years in Nam
But that war wasn`t the same.

Billy`s out in L.A., he`s a lawyer now
They worry he;s so far away
Jeannie got married and lives there in town
They`re comin` over with the kids today.

And there`s a picture on the wall of Jesus in the garden
It`s been there since they got the house in `53
Hey they ain`t no big deal, ain`t gonna go down in history
It`s just a little story of an American family.

Just a little story of an American family...
