about

In 2020, Eric’s maternal grandparents celebrated 60 years of marriage. They began their life together poor & pregnant, with parents who didn’t support the union of an Italian orphan and their nice New Hampshire Baptist girl. Despite all odds, and – they would claim – the help of their shared faith, their marriage lasted six decades. “Never Walking Out on You” is a song celebrating their union and teaching us all what it takes to make a marriage last: simply not giving up.

lyrics

She gave us six months when she claimed our young love was doomed
But she didn’t give a smile when we married in her living room
I was only 16, pregnant with our first of three
Well now, six decades later, you’re still waking up here next to me

I was dogged as a dandelion, tell you what, it’s in my roots
When they say it can’t be done, sure as hell, that’s what you’re gonna do
You were sweet as honey, and handsome as you were cool
Just like a bear to the honey, babe, well I couldn’t keep my paws off of you

If love is a chain, ours is made of iron
Passed through the flame, hardened in the fire
I made you a promise, and that’s just what I’ll do
My word is good
I’m never walking out on you

It ain’t always been easy, it ain’t always been a dream come true
I almost drove right off a ledge just to keep me from murdering you
I’m glad you turned that car around, and you cried out to the Lord above
He gave me a shot of strength, and a heavy dose of stubborn love

If love is a chain, ours is made of iron
Passed through the flame, hardened in the fire
I made you a promise, and that’s just what I’ll do
My word is good
I’m never walking out on you

Looking back on our winding path
With its twists and turns, its peaks and valleys
Step by step we have made it through
Cause you chose me, and I chose you
And I still do

A day is bound to come when one of us will fall asleep
But don’t waste your time thinking I made a promise that I couldn’t keep
This bond is eternal, it reaches past the gates of time
I’ll be waiting with a smile when you wake beyond that great divide

If love is a chain, ours is made of iron
Passed through the flame, hardened in the fire
And I made you a promise, and that’s just what I’ll do
I’m a woman of my word, and I’m gonna follow through
I’m a man standing on his word, Lord, and you know I spoke true
My word is good
I’m never walking out on you
I’m never ever ever ever ever walking out on you
