Blues From The Front Porch |
Well it’s another hot day |
In Lima, Mississippi |
Evan played the harmonica |
And the old group sang |
Some are laughin', some are crying' |
Most are still relyin' on the old (damn tar) |
Yeah in Shannon County |
No one’s overworked today |
There ain’t no use to |
So they took our dignity and ran away |
Well who we are |
And we what we achieve |
When it comes to (cruzmitat) |
Well maybe someone will believe |
In Shannon County |
Here in the Midwest |
Farm prices are a slow burn |
Well I know it ain’t my fault |
So I reckon it must be my turn |
Aimless days |
Empty future |
Whose got the fizzle |
You know we ain’t no quitters here |
In the county |
Just keep a talkin' |
Do you know what I mean? |
You can keep all those big deals |
Don’t take away our reason to believe |
We can work and we feel |
And plant your farm in green |
Send soldiers in the world |
(And peace signs) keep our dream |
We’ll just keep on talkin' |
