Introduction
There’s something timeless about “Livin’ on Love.” It’s not flashy. It’s not trying to impress you with big words or complicated metaphors. It’s just real — in the way that the best country songs are.
When Alan Jackson first sang this one back in 1994, he wasn’t just telling a story — he was holding up a mirror to so many people’s lives. Young love, old love, tough times, good years… and through it all, a simple truth: you don’t need much if you’ve got someone to walk through life with you. 💛
The lyrics feel like they were written on a front porch somewhere, with a cold drink in hand and a heart full of memories. It’s a song about two people who build a life not with money, but with faith, laughter, and a whole lot of love. The kind of love that stays even when the hair turns gray, the bills pile up, or the world changes around them.
And that’s what makes it special — Livin’ on Love is more than just a melody. It’s a reminder that the richest people aren’t always the ones with the biggest house or the fanciest truck. Sometimes, it’s the couple holding hands in a modest kitchen, still dancing to the same old tune they fell in love to decades ago.
So when this song comes on, don’t be surprised if it pulls you back to something simple and beautiful — maybe your parents’ story, maybe your grandparents’, or maybe even the one you’re writing right now. 💫

Lyrics
Two young people without a thing
Say some vows and spread their wings
And settle down with just what they need
Livin’ on love
She don’t care ’bout what’s in style
She just likes the way he smiles
It takes more than marble and tile
Livin’ on love
Livin’ on love, buyin’ on time
Without somebody nothing ain’t worth a dime
Just like an old fashion story book rhyme
Livin’ on love
It sounds simple, that’s what you’re thinkin’
But love can walk through fire without blinkin’
It doesn’t take much when you get enough
Livin’ on love
Two old people without a thing
Children gone but still they sing
Side by side in that front porch swing
Livin’ on love
He can’t see any more
She can barely sweep the floor
Hand in hand they’ll walk through that door
Just livin’ on love
Livin’ on love, buyin’ on time
Without somebody nothing ain’t worth a dime
Just like an old fashion story book rhyme
Livin’ on love
It sounds simple that’s what you’re thinkin’
But love can walk through fire without blinkin’
It doesn’t take much when you get enough
Livin’ on love
Livin’ on love, buyin’ on time
Without somebody nothing ain’t worth a dime
Just like an old fashion story book rhyme
Livin’ on love
It sounds simple that’s what you’re thinkin’
But love can walk through fire without blinkin’
It doesn’t take much when you get enough
Livin’ on love
No, it doesn’t take much when you get enough
Livin’ on love
