Staying Afloat
Don King, J.D. Martin
It’s another Saturday evening
Just you and me and the black and white
But we’re dreamin’ in color
Tellin’ each other, things are lookin’ bright
So we’ll be skimmin’ the waters
I hear the wind in the sails tonight
We’re just payin’ our dues
For that luxury cruise in Paradise
And we’re staying afloat till our ship comes in
A keepin’ our heads above water
Staying afloat till our ship comes in
We’re holdin’ on to each other
You could have married for money
I could have married this dream inside
But we’re two go getters
Swimmin’ together in the stream of life
They say it’s never been harder
Makin’ end meet and keepin’ love alive
But we’re up to our necks
The bills out number the checks
But our love survives
