about

I met my future husband in a salvage yard. That's right, a place offering lightly used items that just needed a little TLC. And there we were. With all our dents and spots of rust. And here we still are. There's a place like this for you too if you're looking.

lyrics

There's a place you may have heard of
just slightly out of town
Where you may find treasure
if it's ready to be found
Lightly used, but still worth bringing round
Welcome
To the salvage yard of love

You may be a little rusty
with signs of wear and tear
Some minor imperfections
a little disrepair
Nothing that can't be restored by somebody who cares
When you find them
In the salvage yard of love

One person's trash is another's band of gold
One angry fist is another's hand to hold
Lots of useful life with a little TLC
We'll be good
We'll be good as new

I'm gonna find it
got nothing left to lose
Learned the passwords
and paid up all my dues
If I can't solve the mystery maybe I can find some clues
Out there
In the salvage yard of love
