Brandon Birkedahl - New Years Blues Lyrics

Lord, how do you write a country western song in, 2018?
The west has already been won and we've trashed all the rivers and streams
Well you can blame it on the white man or chalk it up to the unseen
Lord, how do you write a country western song in, 2018?

What happened to the farmlands I once heard so much about?
Seems they've covered them up with warehouses and blacktop parking lots
Thank science for hydroponics and love for gardens on rooftops
The last four years were the best of my life
But I still miss you a lot

They say the more things change
The more they stay the same
When dark and light come crashing down
They just give it another name
Lord it's the same old story in it's wisdom and it's pain
Lord how do you write a country western song in 2018?

Well she lives in unit 31, just herself and her 8 year old son
Daddy's been gone forever and a day, maybe never coming home
Her family they don't answer and her tears they are falling down like rain
She prays to the lord after she puts her babe to sleep says "Give me strength in 2018"

They say the more things change
The more they stay the same
When dark and light come crashing down
They just give it another name
Lord it's the same old story in it's wisdom and it's pain
Lord how do you write a country western song in 2018?
2018
