[Verse]

I remember my Dad pullin' off the road

Someone broke down he didn't know

D A

He got 'em goin' again.. wouldn't let 'em give him a dime

He had a soft spot for people on hard times

Momma knew the neighbor kids down the street

Holes in their clothes and nothing to eat

D A

She said "I'm gonna feed 'em.. like they're one of mine

She had a soft spot for people on hard times

[Chorus]

I've been down.. and I've been out

I know all about.. livin' hand to mouth

Could be me or you.. with that cardboard sign

Gotta have a soft spot for people on hard times

[Verse]

When the wind blows hard and the rain won't stop

Good workin' people lose all they got

D A

We can't treat life bein' broke.. as some kind of crime

Need to have a sotf spot.. for people on hard times

[Chorus]

I've been down.. and I've been out

I know all about.. livin' hand to mouth

Could be me or you.. with that cardboard sign

Gotta have a soft spot for people on hard times
