Rundown Shack

In a rundown shack, the edge of town
Two young hearts who won't be down
He works with engines, greasy hands
At night he studies, making plans

She works the store, smiles day long
In the evening paints, where she belongs
Dreams of galleries, art on the wall
Plan to rise together, answer life's call

In the rundown shack, love is strong
Times are hard but life is long
With dreams so high and hearts so bold
They'll build their life, the future's told

The roof might leak, the floorboards creak
But in each other, strength they seek
Laughing 'bout this life so low
Knowing one day,hard work will show

Morning light through window panes
Chasing dreams, through joy and pains
Every struggle, every fight
Side by side, we'll make it right

In the rundown shack, love is strong
Times are hard but life is long
With dreams so high and hearts so bold
They'll build their life, the future's told

Underneath the stars at night
Whisper dreams under moonlight
Hand in hand, their future's bright
They'll keep on working, day and night

In the rundown shack, they'll find a way
Through every storm, come what may
With love and dreams, they'll pave their track
In the rundown shack, they won't look back
