Johnson Blvd

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
