[Verse 1]
Some people hunger for the greenback bill
Some folks hunger for the top of the hill
Some people just tryin' to get a decent meal
Well I know that we can turn it around
Some people sleepin' in a fine feather bed
Some folks are dreamin' of an old homestead
Some just need a place to lay their head
Well I know that we can turn it around[Chorus]
I know that we can turn it around
There's one thing that I've found
If there's a force in the dim singin' a workingman's hymn
I know that we can turn it around[Verse 2]
River bottom up to home on high
In the light of the endless sky
Jetsettin' or just gettin' by
I know that we can turn it around[Chorus]
I know that we can turn it around
There's one thing that I've found
If there's a force in the dim singin' a workingman's hymn
I know that we can turn it around[Bridge]
From the 9th Ward up to Patoka Lake
One man's joy's been another man's pain
But the sun keeps shinin' through the drivin' rain
And I know that we can turn it around[Chorus]
I know that we can turn it around
There's one thing that I've found
If there's a force in the dim singin' a workingman's hymn
I know that we can turn it around
I know that we can turn it around
There's one thing that I've found
If there's a force in the dim singin' a workingman's hymn
I know that we can turn it around
I know that we can turn it around
