Desperate Times

There comes a time in every life

You grow up and move away

Or you can say that you're satisfied

And grow old here and stay

But things ain't really takin' off

And everybody here can see

I watch 'em pack their cars and run

But that ain't gonna be me

Cause these desperate times will break you

Made a mess of a less of a man

It's too late now for me to go changin'

So I'm holding out as long as I can

What don't kill you only makes you stronger

And I pray to God that I can survive

And come out on the other end, we're living in desperate times

I got a boy in elementary school

And another on the way

My wife quit her job to stay at home

So I start another one in May

But don't think that I'm complaining, man

There's more than mouths I gotta feed

Hell, the truth is I depend on them

Way more than they depend on me

And these desperate times will break you

Made a mess of a less of a man

It's too late now for me to go changin'

So I'm holding out as long as I can

What don't kill you only makes you stronger

And I pray to God that I can survive

And come out on the other end, we're living in desperate times

And these desperate times will break you

Made a mess of a less of a man

It's too late now for me to go changin'

So I'm holding out as long as I can

What don't kill you only makes you stronger

And I pray to God that I can survive

And come out on the other end, we're living in desperate times

Desperate times

These desperate times
