[Verse 1]
Mama's been hurting
'Cause daddy's been down
Ain't nobody been working
Since the mill left town
They got two youngins not ten years old
With two hundred dollars left in his billfold
And a week's worth of groceries is the price of gold
When your whole damn country's been bought and sold
[Chorus]
Whenever there's been hard times
It's always made hard folks
Who could get it to the other side
And not let it be all she wrote
I'd love to live to be an old man
But, God, You can take me a young one
Just don't let the land I love
Die so young
Of thee, I sing
[Verse 2]
I've been flying low
And my troubled mind
Gеt to digging me a hole
My soul can't climb
Is this the еnd of the world? Nobody knows
'Cause they all just stare at the trash on their phones
In a land that's littered with many men's bones
Who died fighting for somewhere they could call home
Mama's been hurting
'Cause daddy's been down
Ain't nobody been working
Since the mill left town
They got two youngins not ten years old
With two hundred dollars left in his billfold
And a week's worth of groceries is the price of gold
When your whole damn country's been bought and sold
[Chorus]
Whenever there's been hard times
It's always made hard folks
Who could get it to the other side
And not let it be all she wrote
I'd love to live to be an old man
But, God, You can take me a young one
Just don't let the land I love
Die so young
Of thee, I sing
[Verse 2]
I've been flying low
And my troubled mind
Gеt to digging me a hole
My soul can't climb
Is this the еnd of the world? Nobody knows
'Cause they all just stare at the trash on their phones
In a land that's littered with many men's bones
Who died fighting for somewhere they could call home
