[00:09.84]
[00:10.76]Got his gold watch and then they sent him home
[00:13.21]
[00:15.73]I never knew what a struggle was like
[00:17.45]
[00:18.49]Until I cried tears on his stone
[00:20.20]

[00:24.97]
[00:25.55]And died on the layaway plan
[00:27.15]
[00:30.18]But Lord hear the prayer of a Common Man

[01:18.23]But it'll be awhile on my new/used pickup truck
[01:22.22]
[01:24.05]This house of cards I built is mortgaged to the hills
