Story Behind The Song
My old drummer wanted more of the spotlight so I suggested he write a song with me. I went over to his house and wrote this song, without his help, while he sat there and complained about the past and worried about the future.

Lyrics
These are the times, remember them well
For the future is uncertain, hey, you never can tell
Franklin climbed that tower and he rang that bell
Come morning he's kicking and screaming and swaying and yells
He'll cry ooooooooooooooooooo you do
Yeah just like you used to do
oooooooooooooooooo, she'll do him up at night
Make everybody here feel alright
Tipton County taught me well
For the future is uncertain, hey, and you never can tell
Banging on them drumskins all day
Wake up in the morning and you still got your bills to pay
CHORUS
Lifes' hardshell case is just another hotel
For the future is uncertain, and you never can tell
CHORUS
