lyrics

I pray for good times
Pray for my salvation
Driving cross the nation
Stop in every town
And sing the blues

I’m drinking red wine
Till my dear old life is over
Drinking myself sober
Feel the air get warm
I turn to you

Head to the country
Sleeping in a hammock
Hoping we don’t get stuck
Four wheel on the Willys
Holding strong

Fly to the city
Hope I get to see her
The finest at the Theatre
Ticket down in front
To hear the song

I saw a hungry man cry
While begging for his dinner
Lord he ain’t no sinner
He’s fallen on hard times
Ain’t got no job

In the cursed glare
Of the sun shining brightly
College kids are frightened
Ending up in debt
Or in a mall

And a mother cries
Praying for tomorrow
That her husbands gonna come home
Turn against the reasons
For the war

An old man dies
Surrounded by his family
With Liberty and country
He’ll die with his beliefs
Behind a door
