	Story Behind the Song The story of my parents struggles to make ends meet in their early days of marriage, in a more innocent era. Lyrics 1959 This foolish heart beating next to mine Had to leave a world behind And I can't believe that we've come this far When the money's hard to find Chicago's just a a day up 35 And I'll come back with bangles for my bride In 1959, we had a gay old time Just counting our blessings with one on the way In 1959, when nobody crossed the line And I'd a-voted for Kennedy, a long time ago It's nothing much, it'll have to do This trailer on the Southside And all the dreams I had about chandeliers They're all hanging out to dry Standing on the brink of bitterness No one told me life would be life this [Refrain] When I drew all my cards, I was 17 Sort of man, sort of in-between But I guess that's how it is I've been up all night, with the radio Just waiting on a birthday I guess Mr. Blue, yeah, and Mack the Knife Are fighting on the Hit Parade Doctor says my wife is doig fine Step aside, I think my son is crying [Refrain]
