[Verse 1] We were kids on Maple Lane Bikes in the ditch, July rain Your dad's old truck by the barn My boots wore holes before dawn We'd trade coins for gas and dreams Say big things from the creek [Pre-Chorus] Everybody said we'd fade Two names carved in the same old shade But you held my hand and said "We can cross that county line" [Chorus] We made it through We made it through That small-town fire and the hard times too We kept our word We kept our ground Love like ours don't back down We made it through We made it through And I'm still here with you [Verse 2] I punched in late at the mill You worked nights at Miller's Diner still Bills stacked up on the counter edge But you laughed right through the ledge When my truck quit by the feed store sign You said, "Baby, we'll be fine" [Pre-Chorus] Same old stars, same old road A little hope can carry smoke And every mile we took apart Led us back to your front yard [Chorus] We made it through We made it through That small-town fire and the hard times too We kept our word We kept our ground Love like ours don't back down We made it through We made it through And I'm still here with you [Bridge] Now the fields are gold and wide Our names still hang on that churchyard sign Kids on the porch with your eyes Dreaming bigger than the county line [Final Chorus] We made it through We made it through That small-town fire and the hard times too We kept our word We kept our ground Love like ours don't back down We made it through We made it through And I'm still here with you
