In a pickup truck we bought in 1962

And paid each month 'til it belonged to me and you

The cardboard boxes in the back hold everything we own

Things we've saved for sixteen

years to start a brand new home

We're holding sixteen years of love in cardboard boxes

Sixteen years of laughter, sweat, and tears

We've stacked the back with happiness

sadness, love, and cheer

Things we've saved together sixteen years

We sold our little dream house on a small six-acre farm

And said goodbye to friends we'll miss

and fields of golden corn

In our search for city life where

pay is big and jobs are fine

Sixteen years of love and tears following behind

We're holding sixteen years of love in cardboard boxes

Sixteen years of laughter, sweat, and tears

We've stacked the back with happiness

sadness, love, and cheer

Things we've saved together sixteen years
