Lyrics

T'ings a yard really get rough
You know what happen when the going gets tough
Sweet sister had to leave her born land
She had to make a plan
Here comes the heartache
Here comes the pain,
Baby had to leave her lover man
Hope she won't be waiting in vain
Cho.
Been so long, since I held you tight
Been so long, since I kissed my baby goodnight

Little mama done pack the barrel
Now she's calling home
"Hello Mamma, how Papa, put the children on the phone."
Here come the heartache, here come the pain
Jonny's out runnin the street
and June she won't go to school
(Cho.)

Uncle Billy's been working thirty years
Two and three jobs, saving his change
He's got a plan, he's going home, this ain't no place for growing old
Here come the heartache, here come the pain
Trying to claim his piece of the rock, Uncle Billy got shot.
(Cho)
