Up on Main Street They built a highway Changed its name to Johnson Boulevard
Up on Thursday Down on Friday People ask me Why are things so hard
Times been hard though From Laredo To San Jacinto And it's a long way back home
There's an old train In a stock yard It's like a graveyard Of things that come and gone
And the wind moves On a gravestone Where the men's gone And everybody knows
Times been hard though From Laredo To San Jacinto There's a long way back home I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Sometimes you're standing still And the wind just beats you down Oh and sometimes it's just so hard To keep your two feet right there on the ground
Mother's faithful She goes to church still She prays on Sunday And Mondays too
Father's somewhere In the back field Thinking out loud That this ain't nothing new
Time's been hard though From Laredo To San Jacinto So why don't we just go back home Why don't we just go back home
