Lyrics
Foreclosure Blues (c) Music: Unknown, Lyrics: Emmrich 2008 The notice came in the mail today I was hoping this day would never come I said the notice came in the mail today I prayed and prayed that this day would never come The neighbors got theirs last week, let me tell ya the futures getting kind of bleak, yes it is where are the kids and moms gonna go? Does anybody really know? I look at my wife and I look at my daughter, too I'm feeling like I let ‘em down I said I look at my wife and I see my daughter’s eyes, now too I'm feeling like I just let them down, yes I have failure gnaws at me like a fear that can't be shaken and all I see are hopes and dream that have been forsaken by those who have done no wrong. Lord have mercy on us all (If you are gonna play a blues lead, now is the time to do it!) You know I've worked real hard all my life and I always thought I could take good care of my own But lose a job or have a kid get sick and the ends that once met, just don't seem to meet Now, I don't expect the government to take care of me and I really don't care about passing blame But just letting the ones down that love you and need you is enough to drive a man insane

Great lyrics and subject matter. The blues is hard times and few things are harder than losing the home you worked so hard for. Well done!
