Ever since I was a young boy
~#**************#~
Before Id ever know who I am
~#**************#~
My father said, ”You gotta walk before you can crawl
~#**************#~
So you can run as soon as you can stand
~#**************#~
So you can run as soon as you can”
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
Now if every breathin day is a lesson
~#**************#~
I been writin this before I could read
~#**************#~
When mama said, “Son, dont let this hard world
~#**************#~
Do what its doin to me
~#**************#~
Dont let it do what its done to me”
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
Its a hard rain thats gonna fall on the city
~#**************#~
Still a hard rain thats gonna fall on the farm
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Theres no seventh day in a world without pity
~#**************#~
Theres no ball and chain, but the change didnt come
~#**************#~
Wheres my better days? Wheres my Jesus saves?
~#**************#~
Wheres someone to say
~#**************#~
“We gotta hang on”?
~#**************#~
Were brothers in arms
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
Down in southern Alabama
~#**************#~
Its “yes sir”, “no maam”, “thank you”, and “please”
~#**************#~
But dont you step outta line, dont rewrite or define
~#**************#~
What it means to see a man take a knee
~#**************#~
Okay, oh, say can you see
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
Its a hard rain thats gonna fall on the city
~#**************#~
Still a hard rain thats gonna fall on the farm
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Theres no seventh day in a world without pity
~#**************#~
Theres no ball and chain, but the change didnt come
~#**************#~
Wheres my better days? Wheres my Jesus saves?
~#**************#~
Wheres someone to say
~#**************#~
“We gotta hang on”?
~#**************#~
Were brothers in arms
~#**************#~
Were brothers in arms
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
Its a hard rain thats gonna fall on the city
~#**************#~
Still a hard rain thats gonna fall on the farm
~#**************#~
Its a hard rain thats gonna fall on the city
~#**************#~
Still a hard rain, dont give a damn who you are
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Theres no seventh day in a world without pity
~#**************#~
Theres no ball and chain, but the change didnt come
~#**************#~
Wheres my better days? Wheres my Jesus saves?
~#**************#~
Wheres someone to say
~#**************#~
“We gotta hang on”?
~#**************#~
Were brothers in arms
~#**************#~
Were brothers in arms
