These boys aint from Dayton, but I appreciate the sentiment, given the hard times that has come become among us, from the Lonesome River Band, one of the best topical Bluegrass tuens of the recent past:
Simon ploughed the prairie with a furrow straight and long
Where a woman can grow restless and a good thing can go wrong
She asked him again boy tell me when this dirt farm’s gonna pay
Then she drove off in his pick up truck left him standin in the rain
Empty pockets and payments overdue
Starin’ in the face of a low down case of the Sorry County blues
Daddy said son hit the road or this place’ll drag you down
But momma cried when Tyler left for the dirty factory town
They punched him in they punched him out and they stood him in their lines
He built the bigger louvers workin’ double overtime
Well they used him, till they had all they could use
Now it’s rise and shine in the handout line with the Sorry County blues
She reigned supreme the teenage queen down at the county line
Now Darlene keep the motel clean she’s a waitress on the side
But even though she seems to grow a little broker every day
Had the kids all fed and into bed when the Landlord called to say
I hate to do this to you baby but there’s no other way to chose
She’s packin’ her things you know she sings them Sorry County blues
