"When Our Backs Are Against the Wall" Lyrics

(Billy Dean/Tim Nichols)

We started out in a double wide
Had to hang out clothes out on the line
We even had your mom and dad co-sign
We used to ride around downtown singing
Money can't buy you love when times are rough
We just kept goin' when the goin' got tough.

Can't shake us cant break us separate us
Cause we've been through it all
We're at our best when our backs against the wall.

It ain't always been a honeymoon
Sometimes it feels like we're dancin' to a different tune
That's when you and me need a little breathin' room
But when we're rockin' don't come knockin'
We want to be left alone all night long
Makin' up till it feels home sweet home.

Can't shake us cant break us separate us
Cause we've been through it all
We're at our best when our backs against the wall.

We start out with a kiss in the hall
And end up holdin' each other tight
With our backs against the wall...
