They were married in the back seat Of a ’49 Chevrolet By the time she turned twenty Number three was on the way Times were tough, with the worst yet to come Learning to live without, working ’til the job was done Mama took to sewing in a local factory Daddy worked two jobs while Sis watched brother and me Then two little sisters and a brother on the way No time to dream of tomorrow, just surviving each day Winners never quit, quitters just can’t win If they had to do it over, they’d do it all again A family held together through the thick and thin ’Cause winners never quit, and quitters never win One by one we spread our wings And drifted from the nest They just stood there watching Hoping they’d taught us best No matter where we wandered Or how long we were gone One glance over our shoulders And we were still close to home Through every storm that found us, Every hard-luck winter night, Their faith became our shelter, Their love became our light. ’Cause winners never quit, quitters just can’t win All the love they poured into us is beating strong within We’re a family forged in fire, bound by grit and skin And winners never quit… and quitters never win So here’s to all the memories And the road that never ends No matter where we’re going, We’re still coming home again.
