lyrics

My mother did raise me right
oh my daddy how he loved to fight
the poor southern gentlemen
all standing around again judging us all wrong

could be any place hotter
than my brother in San Saba
he stuck there doing time
I couldn't press rewind
doesn't bother him anymore

and this is where it all went wrong
we were fussing through the fight
I hope we can start a new
I hope every thing settles down again
so I sing my song to better days in better ways

all the unions breaking down
every business in the town
they could pair a fair wage
now it's send them all in a rage
it's breaking at the seams

and this is where it all went wrong
we were fussing through the night
I hope we can start a new
I hope every thing settles down again
so I sing my song to better days in better ways
