Johnson Blvd

Up on Main St they built a highway

Changed its name to Johnson Boulevard

Up on Thursday down on Friday

People ask me why are things so hard

Times been hard though

From Laredo to San Jacinto

And it's a long way back home

There's an old train in a stock yard

It's like a graveyard of things come and gone

And the wind moves on a gravestone

Where the leaves gone

And everybody knows

Times been hard though

From Laredo to San Jacinto

And it's a long way back home

Sometimes you're standing still

And the wind just beats you down

Oh and sometimes it's just so hard

To keep your two feet right there on the ground

Mother's faithful

She goes to church still

She prays on Sunday

And Mondays too

Fathers somewhere

On the back field

Thinking out loud

That this ain't nothing new

Times been hard though

From Laredo to San Jacinto

So why don't we just go back home

Why don't we just go back home
