Where did they go?
I think somewhere down the line in our parents' efforts to give us everything they never had, they forgot to give us what they Did have~
Grandpa had grit
He knew how to fight
Not for sport
but for that which was right
Up at dawn
His trade was life
Doing what he must
Dusting off strife
He'd say "It's just a reminder
that we're all still alive"
He'd just square back his shoulders
and cut Hell down to size
All but gone are the days
of men standing strong
Everything's grey
there's no right or wrong
We sit back and wonder
where our glory days went
I saw them galloping towards purgatory
saddled with truth, upon common sense
