Favor

God can be rough on the righteous
Makes them lean hard on their strength
Oh, but still they keep on fighting
To keep it tied together when the ends don't meet

No stranger to the struggle
Or rising up from rubble
They do the only thing that they know how to do
Tough times don't last, tough people do

'Cause there's hope in them there hills
There's heart in them there hollers
Where the whole world don't revolve around the almighty dollar
Oh, there's taking and there's giving
There's life and then there's living
And the only thing we're given is today
So drink it up and love your neighbor
Try and do someone a favor

It takes a while, but not forever
Getting back up on your feet
Nothing turns a heart to leather
Or stirs the bitter way down deep
Like the feeling of forgotten
And the hard times just ain't stopping
And the world don't seem to care like it used to
Tough times don't last, tough people do

'Cause there's hope in them there hills
There's heart in them there hollers
Where the whole world don't revolve around the almighty dollar
Oh, there's taking and there's giving
There's life and then there's living
And the only thing we're given is today
So drink it up and love your neighbor
Try and do someone a favor

Don't know how much you can take until you take it
Or how much you can shake off till you shake it

'Cause there's hope in them there hills
There's heart in them there hollers
Where the whole world don't revolve around the almighty dollar
Oh, there's taking and there's giving
There's life and then there's living
And the only thing we're given is today
So drink it up and love your neighbor
Try and do someone a favor

So drink it up and love your neighbor
Try and do someone a favor
