Story behind the song
Howard sent me these lyrics a couple of days ago and then this morning I opened my newspaper to see a front page story about a Tent City. I figured that was a sign that I needed to get this one recorded so I wasted no time and recorded it right away
Lyrics
There is a Tent City ccgoin up in my townccWhere every other neighborcccan be foundccNo more flat screen tv'sccccorccvideo gamesccPoliceman thereccTakin' everybody's nameccccSoup cookinccin an old coffee canccan American flag wavin'ccabove an oldmanccccI never thought these timesccwere just aheadccSo many homelessccNo place to lay their headccccccccccSee the Tent CitiesccSpringin' up all aroundccDoesnt seem to matterccwhere you goccIn the big citiesccOr in the small townsccMight even be someoneccThere you knowccccBailouts for bankersccand the corporate eliteccno bailouts for you ccno bailouts for meccccI've seen the youngccand ccI've seen the oldcctrying to stay warmccIn the winters' coldccccThey're not bumsccor lazy losersccnot druggies ccNot even boozersccccjust yesterday he had a jobccAnd a homeccNow he's alone in Tent CityccccSee the Tent CitiesccSpringin' up all aroundccDoesnt seem to matterccwhere you goccIn the big citiesccOr in the small townsccMight even be someoneccThere you know cccccc2009 Howard C Holbert
