Sunday Lord - Jared Mees & The Grown Children[00:00:00]

Well they would play spite and malice in saint angelo and dallas[00:00:31]

Both sides of my family both playing the same game[00:00:39]

Between 8:30 and 10 after supper before bed[00:00:46]

It was a good way to relax and it didn't cost a thing[00:00:53]

Cause the tendency of my lineage and kin on both sides of my family[00:01:06]

Was to burn it at both ends[00:01:16]

And when they burned it all down to nothing[00:01:20]

It was time to stop messing around and start all over again[00:01:27]

And they did it monday for the family[00:01:35]

And tuesday for the money[00:01:40]

And wednesday for that twenty acre crop[00:01:44]

And they did it thursday and friday so they'd feel right[00:01:50]

About going out on saturday night[00:01:54]

And sunday lord because they couldn't stop[00:01:58]

Like my father and my father's father and his old man too[00:02:05]

Got more done in an hour than most men the whole day do[00:02:12]

But they must have made a deal with that specter in the fields[00:02:20]

Just let us feed our families and we'll work our whole lives for you[00:02:27]

Cause there was one two three four little mouths to feed[00:02:35]

And there was four five six seven workdays in a week[00:02:42]

And before the morning lights they would have breakfast on[00:02:50]

Because only lazy bones get up at the break of dawn[00:02:57]

And they did it monday for the family[00:03:05]

And tuesday for the money[00:03:10]

And wednesday for that twenty acre crop[00:03:14]

And they did it thursday and friday so they'd be able to supper[00:03:20]

On saturday's dinner table[00:03:25]

And sunday lord because they couldn't stop[00:03:28]

Now the other half in the city was just as hard and gritty[00:03:35]

But instead of planting seeds they were signing deeds and making loans[00:03:42]

And though their bodies weren't taking the beatin'[00:03:49]

It was all just to keep the family eatin'[00:03:53]

They'd spend long nights punching numbers in that back office all alone[00:03:56]

Because that one two three four percent interest rate[00:04:05]

They were chargin' translated to the most razor thin of profit margins[00:04:10]

And an overhead fluorescent bulb can be as cruel as the sun[00:04:20]

But they would take it in the stomach[00:04:27]

When there was a job to be done[00:04:30]

And they did it monday for the family[00:04:35]

And tuesday for the money[00:04:40]

And wednesday for that small savings and loan[00:04:43]

And on thursday and friday they ducked their heads[00:04:50]

So that could spend saturday night with friends[00:04:54]

And sunday lord they did it all alone[00:04:58]

Yeah sunday lord they did it all alone[00:05:05]
