No Man's Land Greg C. Brown and David Edwards The axe came falling hard today, A pink slip and some severance pay. Twenty-five years got tossed aside As they took his job then his pride. Boss man says, "I'm sorry John, But thanks for your time and the work you've done." CHORUS It's tough to stand when you have to crawl, It's hard to feel much like a man. There's no brave face when you've lost it all And you find yourself in No Man's Land. You're wandering round in No Man's Land. Today the bank called in his loan And foreclosed on his home sweet home. With blood and sweat he built this dream, But now it's coming apart at the seams. Banker says, "It's got to be done. Take a look around, you're not the only one." CHORUS It's tough to stand when you have to crawl, It's hard to feel much like a man. There's no brave face when you've lost it all And you find yourself in No Man's Land. You're wandering round in No Man's Land. He's down as far as a man can go, But he won't feel sorry for himself. And he will never give up hope 'Cause he's got his family and he's got his health. CHORUS It's tough to stand when you have to crawl, It's hard to feel much like a man. There's no brave face when you've lost it all And you find yourself in No Man's Land. You're wandering round in No Man's Land. You're wandering round in No Man's Land.
