Family In The Woods lyrics

The stepson of the engineer That drove the train you rode Sold the railroad company And the debt that you owed And so now the new management Comes a-knockin' at your door It's pay up or eviction There's no mercy anymore CHORUS Hey, hey Who will remember me when I'm gone? It ain't about how much you know Or how long you been known It's do you know the folks in charge And how much do you own It's bucks and bloody knuckles It's contracts cut in steel It's clauses sharp and pointed And who's behind the wheel So tell me that old story Of the family in the woods Momma cooked the crawdad And Daddy traded goods Tell me how when their boy died They yelled and cried and prayed Tell me how this very day There's flowers on his grave
