Sitting on the front porch
|
Rain is pouring down
|
News comes on the radio
|
There's trouble all around
|
|
That's the way it always been
|
And the way it'll always be
|
|
I thank the good Lord I've got you
|
In times like these
|
|
The rich keep getting richer
|
The poor barely get by
|
Farmer Johnson says it's either
|
Too wet or too dry
|
|
Jobs are scarce down at the factory
|
|
I thank the good Lord I've got you
|
In times like these
|
|
In times like these
|
When it's easy to get down
|
You're my inspiration
|
You're my solid ground
|
In times like these
|
|
We can read about the latest
|
In the fashion magazines
|
But that don't change the fact
|
That we got patches on our jeans
|
|
Everybody's needing money
|
Even the preachers preaching on TV
|
I thank the good Lord I've got you
|
In times like these
|
|
In times like these
|
When it's easy to get down
|
You're my inspiration
|
You're my solid ground
|
In times like these
|
|
It costs you forty-five cents
|
For a nickel candy bar
|
And a dollar's worth of gas
|
Won't even start your car
|
|
Yeah, we got problems
|
Here in the land of free
|
But there's no place I'd rather be
|
In times like these
|
|
I thank the good Lord I've got you
|
In times like these
|
In times like these, baby (baby)
|
In times like these
|
In times like these
|
