Hard Times - Tracy Lawrence

Old folks say they ain’t seen nothing like it

Since the great depression back in '29

Men and women trying to scratch out a living

Standing shoulder to shoulder in the welfare line

Hard times ain’t got no prejudice

It don’t see black or white

Healthy and strong

Willing and able

We’re just holding on in hard times

White haired preacher standing' in the pulpit

Just a waiving his bible preachin' end of days

Death and destruction waging across the planet

Better pray to your maker that your soul is saved

New born baby clinging to his mama

He came into this world just like you and me

Might be a doctor or a teacher or popper

Only fate can determine how it’s supposed to be
