I wrote this song after listening to a lot Woody Guthrie, it was my attempt to honor the working man.
Good People
There's a lot good people out there out there
There's a lot good people on the line out there
Dear Lord can you help them find there way here
They don't want to be down but they found there way out
if you help in they may find there way back here
There's a lot good people out in the field
the factories making automobiles
dear lord can you help them find their way back home
They don't want to be greedy getting more than their worth
but the suits come in tell em what they deserve
They don't want to be extravagant just work and honest day
so they can afford the life for their honest pay
there's a lot of good people just trying to stay alive
do whatever they can find a way to survive
from the projects to the plains to and the mountain states
do whatever we can do whatever it takes
it's my family your family imprisoned and free
we're all in this together on the same damn team
the many have suffered long enough it's time we are done
they have to listen if we all stand together as one
There's a lot tired people out there out there
there's a lot of tired people on the line out there
Dear Lord give them strength to go all of the way
They offer us convenience as compensation for life
paycheck to paycheck ain't no way to get by
You make your silly contracts taking captive my time
I just want to see my childs first steps with my own eyes
There's a lot good people out there out there
There's a lot good people on the line out there
Dear Lord can you help them find there way here
