Two Nails And A Hammer

Lyrics for a country song

 Teenagers on the run

From those that keep us apart

Never looking back

Hand in hand, heart to heart.

Got nowhere to go,

Low on money and little gas

Said we wouldn’t get far

Young love will never last.

 

With nothing but

Two nails and a hammer

Our dream house can be built

Needing nothing but one another

Using boards of faith

And bricks of security

This house of love will

Weather any storm.

 

Through endless times

Caused by careless fights

But never did we falter

Through those sleepless nights

With baby in hand

Another along the way

We faced the world

Winning day after day.

 

Starting with just

Two nails and a hammer

This house is almost complete

Needed no one but you and me

Using boards of faith

And bricks of security

This house of love will

Weather any storm

 

Now here we stand

All for one as a family

Stronger than ever

United in sweet eternity

 

It started with

Two nails and a hammer

The dream house is now complete

Started by just you and me

With boards of faith

And bricks of security

This house of love will

Weather a hurricane

This is nice. It needs some music and a nice voice to sing it.

I like the format you used. All around good stuff. Some real lovely phrases and the whole theme is so sweet. One of your better writes, Dale!

I agree with Gandre, amazing.. what love can do too is amazing.
This poem gives me faith in love .. sometimes it is all we have to start with
Two nails and a hammer yet we build a mansion in time.. just like the couples of days gone by who started with nothing but true love in their hearts.. love you poem! It is inspiring as well as beautiful.

I'm ready to buy it, where can I get it? :) Great lyrics and will make a great country song. My kind of music as you know. I'm a cowgirl at heart and do love those cowboys (and I'm not talking about the football team LOL) Seriously, really good work, I hope it makes it to music so I can hear it. Hugs and Smiles C

Being from Texas, I listen to mostly country, and this song would be great on the radio! I can just imagine it to music. Great job!
