Cornbread and buttermilk, better clean your plate
He lived through The Great War and came back to his home state
Married his young sweetheart, never would complain
The world it keeps on changing but he ain't never changed
Depression Era
He lived to tell the tale
He's depression era
He don't ever fail
The boy who called him Daddy has grown in different ways
The things that made him happy have long since gone away
Depression Era, caked in red clay mud
Depression Era, survival's in his blood
Biscuits and gravy, eggs all the way
Fought in the Navy and made it back this way
Loved his beautiful wife, now he's full of hurt
A Methodist all his life but he don't go to church
Depression Era, some things never fade
Depression Era in the modern age
He always rose above it but nothing's as it seems
Anger has its pitfalls as does living in your dreams
His dreams they are fading, he'll make a final stand
He'd never hit a lady but he might just kill a man
Depression Era
He lived to tell the tale
He's depression era
He don't ever fail
He lived through The Great War and came back to his home state
Married his young sweetheart, never would complain
The world it keeps on changing but he ain't never changed
Depression Era
He lived to tell the tale
He's depression era
He don't ever fail
The boy who called him Daddy has grown in different ways
The things that made him happy have long since gone away
Depression Era, caked in red clay mud
Depression Era, survival's in his blood
Biscuits and gravy, eggs all the way
Fought in the Navy and made it back this way
Loved his beautiful wife, now he's full of hurt
A Methodist all his life but he don't go to church
Depression Era, some things never fade
Depression Era in the modern age
He always rose above it but nothing's as it seems
Anger has its pitfalls as does living in your dreams
His dreams they are fading, he'll make a final stand
He'd never hit a lady but he might just kill a man
Depression Era
He lived to tell the tale
He's depression era
He don't ever fail
