作词 : Corbin
Worked all his life in the railyards 
Summer heat winter cold 
He sits by the fire, now he's retired 
But he don’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” 
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 
It ain’t no big deal, whatever go down in history 
It’s just a little story of an 
American family 
She waited for him in 
World War 11 
He fought the 
European campaign 
Their son 
John spent two years in “
Nam That war it 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 here in town 
She's 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 
It ain’t no big deal, whatever go down in history 
It’s just a little story of an 
American family 
But the whole world is different now 
Blood's been spilt on our shores 
In hard times we pull together 
That's what a family's for 
Hey it ain’t no big deal, it's written in our history 
We're all part of the story of an 
American family 
We're all part of the story of an 
American family
