lyrics
THINGS ARE TOUGH ALL OVER
Mama’s got a bad heart
Daddy’s got cancer
Preacher tells me son
Jesus is the answer
Things are tough all over
Now they shut down the factory
And sent us on our way
Now we take what we can get
For a fraction of the pay
Little sister took to whorin’
I took to drink
But the whisky ain’t workin’
And now I’m on the brink
Now the weather’s turning cold
And the heating bills are high
California’s burnin’
And the river’s on the rise
Baby brother joined the army
I joined this band
Thought I might take to farming
But there’s no living off this land
Now my woman wants to leave me
Says we can’t see eye to eye
Now everybody’s hurtin’
And we’re all gonna die
