Me + Mine (Lamentations) |
| Me and mine have worked this land |
| As long as my grandfather can remember |
| Plowin' soil, diggin' holes |
| Haulin' coal, to strippin' down the timber |
| Then they showed up, they shut us down |
| Same old story, the same old town |
| «It's like we don’t matter», momma said |
| «At least that’s how it seems» |
| And that’s the day I woke up |
| From the American dream |
| What are you supposed to do |
| When the God you’re prayin' to |
| Up and goes missin'? |
| Leaves a trail of unpaid bills |
| Broken homes and opioid addiction |
| And then a politician shows up |
| Promisin' that |
| He’ll return the jobs |
| That God himself could not bring back |
| Fool me once, shame on you |
| Fool me twice, shame on me |
| Yeah, that’s the day I gave up |
| On the American dream |
| These lamentations |
| Are gettin' too damn hard to sing |
| These lamentations |
| Are gonna be the death of me |
| You see, me and mine, we ain’t the kind |
| To sit around idle and complain |
| We’re tough as nails, mean as hell |
| Without an ounce of quit in our veins |
| But the harder we work, the more they take |
| 'Til all the good is gone, for goodness sake |
| Neither the left or the right |
| Are gonna fight |
| For folks stuck in between |
| The way things really are |
| The American dream |
| These lamentations |
| Are gonna be the death of me |
| These lamentations |
| Are gettin' too damn hard to sing |
| These lamentations |
| Are gonna be the death of me |
| These lamentations |
| Are gettin' too damn hard to sing |
