These are sad times

World gone mad times

Men doing bad time

Lord what is this world going to

Between religions and wars

Drugs and divorce

Hell it seems like the whole world is fight'n

The sun might be shining

But even the skies are blue



These are hard days

Heavy old hard days

Dead string guitar days

And the devil is picking his tune



When daddy's quit staying

And the mommas quit praying

Even the children quit fight'n

God must be crying

Cause even the skies are blue



If we all know a way

To make a better day

Why Isnt anyone trying

The sun might be shining

But even the skies are blue
