Lyrics In the Mean Time - Chris Knight

In the Mean Time

Sometimes I wonder where my next dollar gonna come from
Keep my head up and something falls out of the sky
Daddy taught me how to use my bootstraps and carry on
He said God will be good to you son if you try
Uncle Sam comes around getting both hands in your pocket
People out there, just barely are gettin by
Render unto Caesar no more than you got to
Keep the Lord in your heart, and keep your powder dry.
But do you good in mean time
While you’re waiting on a good time, draw the line
Well you might wanna think about getting yourself a shotgun
You might wanna think about growing you a garden patch
You might have to go out and shoot something and drag it home
But don’t never count your chickens before they hatch
But do you good in mean time
While you’re waiting on a good time, draw the line
I’m pretty sure that the government ain’t gonna save you
The good lord helps the ones that help themselves
You wanna stand on your own 2 feet, and use some backbone
Don’t go crawling on your knees, begging for help
But do you good in mean time
While you’re waiting on a good time, draw the line
Yeah in the mean time, draw the line
