"Good Times, Hard Times"

HOOK
He had some good times, hard times made it through the so-so days
Called upon Jesus in the bad times for the good Lord to light his way

He was a farming man working the land
It wasn't an easy life married young and had five kids with a pretty little red-haired wife
He lived the life he chose he watched his crops and family grow
When his neighbors lost their land he was there to lend a helping hand

HOOK
He had some good times, hard times made it through the so-so days
Called upon Jesus in the bad times for the good Lord to light his way

Sunday mornin' rolls around again tough to get out of bed he's got an achin' head
Still he does what he's got to do takes his family to church on Third Avenue
They might be a little bit late he prays to God while they pass the plate
To give his family everything they need


HOOK
He had some good times, hard times made it through the so-so days
Called upon Jesus in the bad times for the good Lord to light his way

Well he passed away not too long ago you know I miss that man we were mighty close
I still see us sittin' in his pick-up truck we're sippin' Jack Daniels and cuttin' up
He lived the life he chose he watched his crops and family grow
When his neighbors lost their land he was there to lend a helping hand

HOOK
He had some good times, hard times made it through the so-so days
Called upon Jesus in the bad times for the good Lord to light his way
