American Aquarium - Built to Last

They don't build a heart like they used to
These days they might as well be made of glass
When the going gets hard they start to crack, then they fall apart
But a love like ours, babe it was built to last

I know that it ain't much to look at
The frame ain't bent and the motor's running good
Yeah, the paint might be chipping and second gear keeps slipping
Trust me there's still plenty of good miles left underneath the hood

I know it's hard to see clearly
But we can turn this heap of nothing into home
It won't break the wallet and the foundation's solid
There's something to be said about a sturdy set of bones

Some folks might call it a fixer upper
It don't sparkle, it ain't shiny, it ain't new
But every dent and every ding, the good, the bad and the in-between
These scars are just the stories of the storms we've made it through
