lyrics

They say a man will cry for all he's let go
But I think most men cry for reasons they don't know
They hold their hands out straight towards that sky above
Pushing against the weight of all the dreams they dreamed of

Western Ohio, Midwest Pipe and Steel
My father drove a trailer truck, kept his hands upon the wheel
He would always take the hardest ones for that better wage and a chance for us
Caffeine pills, eight hundred miles, through that thick midnight dust

Every place I go things are getting harder
In every face I know things are getting harder
In the eyes of a criminal and in the heart of decent man
Things are getting harder man

I must have fallen asleep by the TVs blue light
I found my father at the kitchen table clutching his keys tight
He was wearing that uniform, he had his head hanging down
What he drove for all those years was finally going to drive him out of town

The older I get the less clear things seem to be
When all the things you need the most are the hardest things to see
How can you learn to live in darkness, how can you learn to live in the light
When it's the same thing that pulls you to your bed that keeps you up all night

Every place I go things are getting harder
In every face I know things are getting harder
In every empty-hearted promise, in every unforgiving hand
Things are getting harder man

Scrawl my name into that deep dark ground
Lay me under in the place where I'm found
I am lost, I am home

Every place I go things are getting harder
In every face I know things are getting harder
In every town and every city across a wicked and mighty land
Things are getting harder man

Things are getting harder man
Things are getting harder man
