Standard (EADGBE)

when i was young my daddy said son never be ashamed of where your from

nothing wrong with your last name don't be looking for people to blame

cause hard times they come and they go most of the time they're in the middle of your road

same pain in different ways don't you know son when it pours it rains

Hard times in the middle of your road

hard times creeping up on the good folks you know

hard times huddling around a wood burning stove

hard times from the california hills to the cumberland road

you've had yours and i've had mine most of the good folks they try and try

make their livin on your minimum wage they're coming up short nearly everyday

what's enough what's the cost they can't stand up because all is lost

you hold us up and you doors are locked there's a poor boy living on every block

Repeat Chorus

when i was young my daddy said son never be ashamed of where your from

nothing wrong with your last name don't be looking for people to blame

cause hard times they come and they go most of the time they're in the middle of your road

same pain in different ways don't you know son when it pours it rains

and it will always be around following you from town to town

So you can get up when it knocks you down cause everybodys gottem when you look around

Repeat Chorus
