MY DADDY TOLD ME
STORIES ABOUT
HOW THIS
COUNTRY WAS
WHEN HE WAS
JUST A KID
HOW PEOPLE TOOK
THE TIME TO CARE
AND TOOK A LOT OF PRIDE
IN THE THINGS THEY DID
AND I CAN'T HELP
BUT WONDER
WHAT HAPPENED
TO THAT SPIRIT
DOWN THROUGH
THE YEARS
IS IT SOMETHING
WE'VE FORGOTTEN
OR SOMETHING THAT
WE JUST DON'T WANT
TO HEAR
IT'S A SIGN OF
THE TIMES WE'RE IN
WHEN WE CAN'T
FIND THE TIME
TO HELP A FRIEND
OR SHOW A LITTLE MORE
COMPASSION TO
THE PROBLEMS IN EACH
OTHER'S LIVES
WE'RE MORE
CONCERNED
WITH MAKIN' MONEY
THAN STAYIN' HOME
LOVIN' OUR FAMILY
AND I WISH I COULD
CHANGE THE THINGS
I SEE
IN THE SIGNS OF
THE TIMES
IF YOU NEED
TO BORROW
MONEY NOW
THEY WANT TO
KNOW HOW MANY
ASSETS YOU
CAN CLAIM
IT'S NOT LIKE IT WAS
BACK YEARS AGO
WHEN GRANDPA
BORROWED
MONEY SIMPLY
ON HIS NAME
AND IT SURE DOES
SEEM A PITY
BUT A MAN'S WORD
DON'T COUNT FOR
MUCH HERE
ANYMORE
AND I WISH I COULD
TURN THE CLOCK
BACK TO
THE WAY MY DADDY
SAID IT WAS BEFORE
IT'S A SIGN OF
THE TIMES WE'RE IN
WHEN WE CAN'T FIND
THE TIME TO
HELP A FRIEND
OR SHOW A LITTLE
MORE COMPASSION TO
THE PROBLEMS IN EACH
OTHER'S LIVES
WE'RE MORE
CONCERNED
WITH MAKIN' MONEY
THEN STAYIN'
HOME LOVIN'
OUR FAMILY
AND I WISH I
COULD CHANGE
THE THINGS I SEE
IN THE SIGNS
OF THE TIMES
IT'S A SIGN OF
THE TIMES WE'RE IN
WHEN WE CAN'T FIND
THE TIME TO
HELP A FRIEND
OR SHOW A LITTLE
MORE
COMPASSION TO
THE PROBLEMS IN EACH
OTHER'S LIVES
WE'RE MORE
CONCERNED
WITH MAKIN' MONEY
THAN STAYIN' HOME
LOVIN' OUR FAMILY
AND I WISH I COULD
CHANGE
THE THINGS I SEE
IN THE SIGNS
OF THE TIMES
AND I WISH I COULD
CHANGE
THE THINGS I SEE
IN THE SIGNS
OF THE TIMES
