Last Hard Town Lyrics

Woke up on a bus and heard the driver say
Friends fill it up with No
2
Wondered where I was and wondered what today
Would be demanding me to
do
It's not for me the last cause I'm just goin'
Where life's sendin' me
I guess
The thing that keeps us goin' is the good folks 
In the last hard
town we met

I sat pickin' on my guitar till I saw 
The new sun comin'
through the skies
Ain't it funny how the truth is sometimes 
Written on
an artificial high
Carry water from the well untill you know 
That all
the children are refreshed
The thing that keeps us goin' is the good folks

In the last hard town we met

We were drinking too much yesterday

Nobody's ever told us what's enough
The ones that we should've prayed
for more than likely 
Were the ones we had to cuss
They applauded as we
killed ourselves 
But angels don't have bourbon on their breath
The thing
that keeps us goin' is the good folks 
In the last hard town we
met

They came to see the people that they thought we were
And never
changed their minds
They explained the way that difference caused 
The
folks who love a picker can be blind
They misunderstood the words but
understood 
That our intentions were the best
The thing that keeps us
goin' is the good folks 
In the last hard town we met

What a picker
does for others is the thing
He's mainly doing for himself
There were
friends and there were neighbors
But the good homes that we came from didn't
help
If there's anything you'd like to say 
About us after we have gone to
rest
We would like someone to mention all the good folks 
In the last hard
town we met
