About the song
In the entertainment world where fleeting love affairs, noisy scandals and the halo of fame easily make people forget their roots, Alan Jackson emerges as a quiet but steadfast symbol of loyalty and traditional family values. For more than 40 years, he has been with his only wife – Denise, who has been with him through many ups and downs in life and career. That love is not noisy but deep, quiet like Alan himself and his music.
In an interview with the press, he once said:
“I don’t write love songs about supercars or money. I write about Denise, about real life, about the things I live every day.”
That is also what makes his music touch the hearts of many people, especially older audiences – those who have experienced a time when love was kept with patience, trust and fulfilled promises, not just empty words.
Alan Jackson does not follow trends, does not let his music be caught up in the commercial vortex. He chooses to write about familiar things: home, memories, attachment, and loss. Songs like “Remember When”, “Livin’ on Love” or “Drive” are not only good songs, but also vivid memories that many people have experienced.
In a world that is changing every day, where many old values are gradually forgotten, Alan Jackson is like a “fire keeper”. Not only did he keep the flame of love and family burning in his own life, but he also lit it in the hearts of millions of fans – especially those over 50, who still believe that loyalty and true love are the most sacred things.
At the age of over 60, Alan Jackson still steps onto the stage with a calm demeanor, a familiar cowboy hat and a warm voice. He is not only a famous country singer, but also a symbol of a time, a generation, a way of life full of humanity. For those who lived through the old days, Alan Jackson did not just sing – he told their own story, through melody.

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
