Lyrics

An honest day
For honest pay
That's what I believed in
How I was raised
Stand your ground
Don't think like the crowd
And you can stand proud
You can stand proud
Bobby was three, we had one on the way
Bought a house with a yard, where they could play
I worked hard, but I could provide
And I had my pride
I had my pride
Nothin' was better than life in this work-a-day town
Then came the letter, saying they're shutting us down
Bobby was five
And Jenny was one
When they padlocked the gates
In the morning sun
Hard times had come
But I'd set aside
And I had my pride
I had my pride
I looked for work everywhere, there was none to be found
Strangers somewhere put a knife in the heart of this town
Now Bobby's six and Jenny's two
They need their shots
She needs new shoes
So I gotta choose
Yeah, I got to decide
Them, or my pride
Them, or my pride
Nothing could stop it, nothing could make those men care
They took their profit, came to a penny a share
But Jenny's two
And Bobby's six
It ain't their fault that we're in this fix
So I pick up the groceries and step outside
And swallow my pride
Swallow my pride
