John Mellencamp - Blues From the Front Porch lyrics

Well it's another hot day In Lima, Mississippi Evan played the harmonica And the old group sang Some are laughin', some are crying' Most are still relyin' on the old (damn tar) Yeah in Shannon County No one's overworked today There ain't no use to So they took our dignity and ran away Well who we are And we what we achieve When it comes to (cruzmitat) Well maybe someone will believe In Shannon County Here in the Midwest Farm prices are a slow burn Well I know it ain't my fault So I reckon it must be my turn Aimless days Empty future Whose got the fizzle You know we ain't no quitters here In the county Just keep a talkin' Do you know what I mean? You can keep all those big deals Don't take away our reason to believe We can work and we feel And plant your farm in green Send soldiers in the world (And peace signs) keep our dream We'll just keep on talkin'
