End of the Line

End of the Line Yes, I've Known of Hunger And I Know the Poverty Line I'm Sure Some Have it Worse than Me And We're Fighting Hard Against Time You May Wonder How I Got Here Well Buddy, So Do I There Was a Time I Had it All But That Was in Days Gone by They Closed down the Factory I Had Worked There Twenty Years There Was Nothing That Could Stop it Not Even My Children's Tears I Lost My Wife and Family They're Somewhere Way out West I'll Find a Job Somehow Then I'll Give Them the Very Best It's Hard to Keep a Positive Thought Amidst the Pain and Sorrow But I Try to Keep in Mind Things Will Get Better...Tomorrow Connie Moore
