angaleena presley - american middle class lyrics

Loading...

[chorus]
tear this poorhouse down when you know how to build it back
hammer and nail between your heart and your hometown
’til you can carry this country on your back

[verse 1]
momma glued the keds signs on the back of my little white shoes
daddy never crossed the picket line
it was hard but we made it through
only had one little pair of stonewashed jeans with a label on the back
i’m a product of the never-give-up american middle cl-ss

[chorus]
tear this poorhouse down when you know how to build it back
hammer and nail between your heart and your hometown
’til you can carry this country on your back

[verse 2]
i got my education at a school they could afford
scholarships went to the rich and the grants went to the poor
so i stood behind the little downtown bar
for spending money, books and gas
to be a certified member of the work-too-much american middle cl-ss

[verse 3]
now daddy can’t get his pension or social security
worked thirty d-mn years in a coal mine feeding welfare families
struggle hard and hide it well, you sure ain’t rich
and you sure as h-ll ain’t poor enough to get one little break
’cause everything would collapse
without the hardworking god-loving members of the american middle cl-ss

[chorus]
tear this poorhouse down when you know how to build it back
hammer and nail between your heart and your hometown
’til you can carry this country on your back
