Verse
I remember my Dad pullin' off the road
Someone broke down he didn't know
He got 'em goin' again wouldn't let 'em give him a dime
He had a soft spot for people on hard times
Momma knew the neighbor kids down the street
Holes in their clothes and nothing to eat
She said "I'm gonna feed 'em like they're one of mine
She had a soft spot for people on hard times
I've been down and I've been out
I know all about livin' hand to mouth
Could be me or you with that cardboard sign
Gotta have a soft spot for people on hard times
Verse
When the wind blows hard and the rain won't stop
Good workin' people lose all they got
We can't treat life bein' broke as some kind of crime
Need to have a sotf spot for people on hard times
I've been down and I've been out
I know all about livin' hand to mouth
Could be me or you with that cardboard sign
Gotta have a soft spot for people on hard times
