In the Mean Time Songtext
von Chris Knight

Sometimes I wonder where my next dollar gonna come from
Keep my head up and somen falls out of the sky
Daddy taught me how to use my bootstraps and carry on
He said God will be good to you son if you try

Uncle Sam comes around gettin′ both hands in your pocket
People out there, just barely are gettin' by
Render unto Caesar no more than you got to
Keep the Lord in your heart, and keep your powder dry
But do you good in the mean time
While you′re waitin' on a good time, draw the line


Well you might wanna think about gettin' yourself a shotgun
You might wanna think about growin′ you a garden patch
You might have to go out and shoot somen and drag it home
But don′t never count your chickens before they hatch
But do you good in the mean time
While you're waitin′ on a good time, draw the line

I'm pretty sure that the government ain′t gonna save you
The good Lord helps the ones that help themselves
You wanna stand on your own 2 feet, and use some backbone
Don't go crawlin′ on your knees, beggin' for help
But do you good in the mean time
While you're waitin′ on a good time, draw the line
Yeah in the mean time, draw the line
