Hayes Carll - Times Like These lyrics
[Hayes Carll - Times Like These lyrics]
In times like these everyone could use a hand
Instead we stand around losing ground
Fighting for the promised land
It's so hard to tell if
This is heaven or hell
And I could never measure by degrees
But, it's sure gettin' warm 'round
Here in times like these
In times like these do I
Really need a billionaire
Just takin' all my time tryin' to
Tell me I was treated unfair?
Well then I got to pay
It's the home of the brave
Gets divided into them and the weak
Oh, I find I'm a-losing my
Mind in times like these
Yeah they come and they go
They're in and then out
Every day I'm getting better at
Losing something I haven't got
I just wanna do my labor, love my girl
And help my neighbor
While I keep a little hope for my dreams
But, it's sure getting hard, brother
In times like these
In times like these I wish
Someone was on my side
Instead of bringing it together we're
Just widening the great divide
I hope and I pray at the end of the day
I can somehow get my troubles to ease
But, I gotta say, it's not looking good
Not in times like these
Yeah they come and they go
They're cold then they're hot
I just try to keep the world from
Turning me to something I'm not
I'm gonna try to run until
The whole thing's done
And I just hope I don't end up on my knees
But, it's sure getting hard to stand
Up in times like these
I just wanna do my labor, love my girl
And help my neighbor
While I'm keeping all my joie de vivre
But, it's sure getting hard, brother
In times like these
I could use just a little bit
Of help in times like these
Instead we stand around losing ground
Fighting for the promised land
It's so hard to tell if
This is heaven or hell
And I could never measure by degrees
But, it's sure gettin' warm 'round
Here in times like these
In times like these do I
Really need a billionaire
Just takin' all my time tryin' to
Tell me I was treated unfair?
Well then I got to pay
It's the home of the brave
Gets divided into them and the weak
Oh, I find I'm a-losing my
Mind in times like these
Yeah they come and they go
They're in and then out
Every day I'm getting better at
Losing something I haven't got
I just wanna do my labor, love my girl
And help my neighbor
While I keep a little hope for my dreams
But, it's sure getting hard, brother
In times like these
In times like these I wish
Someone was on my side
Instead of bringing it together we're
Just widening the great divide
I hope and I pray at the end of the day
I can somehow get my troubles to ease
But, I gotta say, it's not looking good
Not in times like these
Yeah they come and they go
They're cold then they're hot
I just try to keep the world from
Turning me to something I'm not
I'm gonna try to run until
The whole thing's done
And I just hope I don't end up on my knees
But, it's sure getting hard to stand
Up in times like these
I just wanna do my labor, love my girl
And help my neighbor
While I'm keeping all my joie de vivre
But, it's sure getting hard, brother
In times like these
I could use just a little bit
Of help in times like these
