modern times - red steagall lyrics

[verse 1]
i remember momma almost leaving daddy
that was the year the crops all failed
she got down her bow and they got back together
the good lord put the wind back in their sails

[verse 2]
i can almost see the saw mill where my brother almost got k!lled
he worked like h*ll for fifty cents a day
we all went to church on sunday
we were proud of being country and always spoke well of the usa

[chorus]
things are not the same in modern times
the way this world is changed is such a crime
i’d give all i own for the family and the home
the way i knew it back before these modern times

[verse 3]
i just can’t keep from wishing i was on a creek bank fishing
or hunting squirrels down in the bottom land
or just sitting in the porch swing, hearing mom and dad sing
oh, god’s unchanging hands

[verse 4]
i’m so tired of city living, traffic and tall buildings
i long to go back to the good old days
i’d spend my last quarter for a drink of cold well water
out back of that old shack where i was raised
[chorus]
things are not the same in modern times
the way this world is changed is such a crime
i’d give all i own for the family and the home
the way i knew it back before these modern times
things are not the same in modern times
the way this world is changed is such a crime
i’d give all i own for the family and the home
the way i knew it back before these modern times

[outro]
the way i knew it back before these modern times
