Up on Main St, they built a highway
            Am                   F
Changed its name to Johnson Boulevard
      C                G
Up on Thursday down on Friday
          Am                    F
People ask me why are things so hard
           C
Times been hard though
     G               Am
From Laredo to San Jacinto
          F     G        C     G
And it’s a long way back home

           C                G
There’s an old train in a stock yard
           Am                       F
It’s like a graveyard of things come and gone
        C               G
And the wind moves on a gravestone
          Am
Where the names gone
              F
And everybody knows
           C
Times been hard though
   G               Am
In Laredo to San Jacinto
          F    G        C      Am
And it’s a long way back home

    F             C              Am
Sometimes you’re standing still
                  F         C
And the wind just beats you down
        Am            G
Oh and sometimes it’s just so hard
   D                                     F      G
to keep your two feet right there on the ground

Mother’s faithful
            G
She goes to church still
         Am
Prays on Sunday
            F
And Mondays too
        C
Father's somewhere
       G
In the back field
             Am
Thinking out loud
                        F
That this ain'’t nothing new
           C
Times been hard though
     G               Am
From Laredo to San Jacinto
            F       G       Am
So why don’t we just go back home
