about

A song inspired by Cari's dad after a conversation with him.

lyrics

My grandpa was a hardworking man
The year was 1932
He lost the farm and everything he had
A hundred acres of good farm land

Living in hard times
Fallen on hard times

He moved the family to the east side of town
Trouble in the streets, gangs all around
My daddy learned how to run and how to fight
Food was scarce and money was tight

Living in hard times
Fallen on hard times

We used to laugh when he told his stories of
cardboard in his shoes
We'd kick each other under the table but
inside we knew it was true

It's hard for me to look at my sons
And know that things don't really change
All the troubles of our past come back
Yeah, just rearranged

Living in hard times
Fallen on hard times
Living in hard times
Fallen on hard times
