Bob's Place (018)

♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫

I stopped at Bob's Place
For a couple drinks tonight.
Bob was the only one there;
Somethin' just wasn't right.

"Where's your usual crowd, Bob?"
I asked as I sipped my beer.
"Business is really down!" he said.
"There's a whole lot of fear!"

"Word is there will be layoffs
Down at the paper mill.
Business is way down;
And there ain't no orders to fill."

"That's a doggone shame,"
I said to my friend Bob.
"Don't know what we'll do
Without all those good payin' jobs!"

"I know what you mean,"
Bob responded back to me.
"I'm really worried about where
We're goin' in our country."

And that's when I said .....

"Gonna have to tighten our belts,
Cut back where we can.
Gonna have to economize,
Finally draw a line in the sand."

"Government's out of control;
Times are gettin' real tough.
We ain't gonna take it no more;
Enough is enough!"

Bob agreed with me .....

"Gonna have to tighten our belts,
Cut back where we can.
Gonna have to economize,
Finally draw a line in the sand."

"Government's out of control;
Times are gettin' real tough.
We ain't gonna take it no more;
Enough is enough!"
