Jeff and Sue-Cult of 2: Music

50 Years

(Jeff and Sue)
December 27, 1998
Music and lyrics written by Jeffrey Hanaford
Jeff wrote this song for his Grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary which happens to be the same day that Jeff and Sue were married!
CHORUS: 50 years....... 50 years....... 50 years
And I've learned more than I could care to know
50 years....... 50 years.....we go through the high and low
And we've still got a long way to go

At 10 years I believed I had made it through the rain
There couldn't be much more to wedded bliss
At 20 I had found....love and pain were just the same
And I wondered could there be much more to this
CHORUS
At the time it seemed a good idea to pull up stakes and roll
I wonder what the hell we're running from
Someone said they saw our lives roll down Route 66
But we'd keep the faith for many years to come.
CHORUS
The more I learn the less I know
But still it's all the same
A farmer knows that sweat is all he's worth
Dogs and cats and chickens all out playing in the rain
And we know our love is strong for Mother Earth
CHORUS
Oh...my love for life
You've become a reflection of me
Oh....I love my life
And there's no place that I'd rather be
LEAD
I've heard it all before...the cliches' are just the same
That you don't know what you've got until it's gone
And you don't know where you're going
Until you're there and you turn around
And you see where you've been all along
CHORUS
