Our car may be old, our two rooms cold
But we're gonna make it, I know we will

Sayin' "Help the deaf, the dumb, and the blind"
I got your love and you know you got mine
So we're gonna make it, I know we will
Coda:
We're gonna make it

(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
We're gonna make it, baby

But don't worry, darlin' baby

(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
We're gonna keep on tryin'
G Em
(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it) [fade]
