In Times Like These

Sitting on the front porch
 Rain is pouring down
 News comes on the radio
 There's trouble all around
 That's the way it's always been
 And the way it'll always be
 I thank the good Lord, I've got you
 In times like these
 The rich keep getting richer
 The poor barely get by
 Farmer Johnson says
 "It's either too wet or too dry"
 Jobs are scarce down at the factory
 I thank the good Lord I've got you
 In times like these
 In times like these
 When it's easy to get down
 You're my inspiration
 You're my solid ground
 In times like these
 Love will pull us through
 Baby, I know I can depend on you
 It costs you 99 cents
 For a nickel-candy bar
 And a dollar's worth of gas
 Won't even start your car
 Yeah, we got problems
 Here in the land of the free
 But there's no place I'd rather be

 Sitting on the front porch
 Rain still pouring down
