Travis Tritt - Sign of the Times lyrics
[Travis Tritt - Sign of the Times lyrics]
My daddy told me stories about
How this country was when I was just a kid
How people took the time to care
And took a lot of pride
In the things they did
And I can't help but wonder
What happened to that spirit
Down through the years
It is something we have forgotten
Or something that we just don't want to hear
It's a sign of the times we're in
When we can't find the time to help a friend
Or show a little more compassion to
The problems in each other's lives
We're more concerned with makin' money
Than stayin' home lovin' our family
And I wish I could change the things I see
In the signs of the times
If you need to borrow money now
They want to know how many
Assets you can claim
It's not like it was back years ago
When Grandpa borrowed money simply
On his name
And it sure does seem a pity
But a man's word don't count
For much here anymore
And I wish I could turn the clock back to
The way my daddy said it was before
It's a sign of the times we're in
When we can't find the time to help a friend
Or show a little more compassion to
The problems in each other's lives
We're more concerned with makin' money
Than stayin' home lovin' our family
And I wish I could change the things I see
In the signs of the times
It's a sign of the times we're in
When we can't find the time to help a friend
Or show a little more compassion to
The problems in each other's lives
We're more concerned with makin' money
Than stayin' home lovin' our family
And I wish I could change the things I see
In the signs of the times
And I wish I could change the things I see
In the signs of the times
How this country was when I was just a kid
How people took the time to care
And took a lot of pride
In the things they did
And I can't help but wonder
What happened to that spirit
Down through the years
It is something we have forgotten
Or something that we just don't want to hear
It's a sign of the times we're in
When we can't find the time to help a friend
Or show a little more compassion to
The problems in each other's lives
We're more concerned with makin' money
Than stayin' home lovin' our family
And I wish I could change the things I see
In the signs of the times
If you need to borrow money now
They want to know how many
Assets you can claim
It's not like it was back years ago
When Grandpa borrowed money simply
On his name
And it sure does seem a pity
But a man's word don't count
For much here anymore
And I wish I could turn the clock back to
The way my daddy said it was before
It's a sign of the times we're in
When we can't find the time to help a friend
Or show a little more compassion to
The problems in each other's lives
We're more concerned with makin' money
Than stayin' home lovin' our family
And I wish I could change the things I see
In the signs of the times
It's a sign of the times we're in
When we can't find the time to help a friend
Or show a little more compassion to
The problems in each other's lives
We're more concerned with makin' money
Than stayin' home lovin' our family
And I wish I could change the things I see
In the signs of the times
And I wish I could change the things I see
In the signs of the times
