Donna Ulisse - Child Of The Great Depression lyrics

Chicken in the sk**et on an old gas stove Pot full of string beans simmerin' low on the fire Corn and tomatoes from the garden out back bu*termilk biscuits on the oven rack risin' higher Family dinner Sunday afternoon A way of life Maudie holds on to CHORUS: She's a child of the great depression And she counts it as her greatest lesson The tired, hungry years, they showed her how To taste the good, sweet life she's livin' now She still hangs her laundry out on the line Does a little bakin' while the clothes are dryin' outside She don't let anything go to waste So don't let her catch you throwin' nothin' away, 'specially time Front porch swingin' when the dishes are done Tellin' us stories of days long gone CHORUS: She's a child of the great depression And she counts it as her greatest lesson The tired, hungry years, they showed her how To taste the good, sweet life she's livin' now BRIDGE: Beyond her window all the world has changed But inside those walls life is still the same CHORUS: She's a child of the great depression And she counts it as her greatest lesson The tired, hungry years, they showed her how To taste the good, sweet life she's livin' now
