Gary Fjellgaard Song Lyrics > Contenders

Tried and true
Tried and true
It's those simple things that always get us through
You can lean on me
I'll lean on you
We'll go on forever
Tried and true

We need something real
Something we can touch and feel
Not some gone tomorrow
Temporary thing
We never signed up for a race
A nowhere frantic pace
Just to learn some crazy melody
We will never sing

Tried and true
Tried and true
It's those simple things
That always get us through
You can lean on me
I'll lean on you
We'll go on forever
Tried and true

Grandfather clocks
Warm woolen socks
The sound of fine guitars and violins
A puppy and a child
Set free running wild
And keeping one more promise to
A lover or a friend

Tried and true
Tried and true
It's those simple things
That always get us through
You can lean on me
l'll lean on you
We'll go on forever
Tried and true

When we're dazzled by the brilliance
Blinded by the light
We will turn our backs and run toward the simple life
Tried and true
