Life goes on, the world keeps turning and life goes on
Life goes on, the world keeps turning and life goes on
He was a company man
He put his faith in the union and his take-home pay

A good republican man
But they closed down the factory his retirement day
Life goes on whether or not there's a reason
Life goes on, enter another season

She was the pride of her dad
But she harbored a secret in her bureau drawer
And when the news was too bad

Her father still burns a light
But they never returned and they were never found
