My daddy told me stories about how this country was when he was just a kid
|
How people took the time to care
|
and took alot of pride in the things they did
|
And I can't help but wonder
|
What happened to that spirit
|
Down through the years
|
Is it something we've forgotten
|
Or something that we just don't want to hear
|
|
|
Chorus:
|
|
It's a sign of the times we're in
|
When we can't find the time to help a friend
|
Or show a little more compassion too
|
The problems in each others lives
|
We're more concerned with makin' money
|
Than stayin' home lovin' our family
|
And I wish I could change the things I see
|
In the signs of the times
|
|
|
I you need to borrow money now
|
They want to know how many assets you can claim
|
It's not like it was back years ago
|
When grandpa borrowed money simply on his name
|
And it sure does seem a pity
|
But a man's word don't count for much here anymore
|
And I wish I could turn the clock back to
|
The way my daddy said it was before
|
|
|
Chorus: (twice)
|
|
And I wish I could change the things I see
|
In the signs of the times
|
