Sunday Lord
Jared Mees and the Grown Children

Well, they would play spite and malice in Saint Angelo and DallasnBoth sides of my family, both playing the same gamenBetween 8:30 and 10, after supper, before bednIt was a good way to relax and it didn't cost a thingnnCause the tendency of my lineage and kin on both sides of my family was to burn it at both endsnAnd when they burned it all down to nothingnIt was time to stop messing around and start all over againnnAnd they did it Monday for the familynAnd Tuesday for the moneynAnd Wednesday for that twenty acre cropnAnd they did it Thursday and Friday so they'd feel right about going out on Saturday nightnAnd Sunday, lord, because they couldn't stopnnLike my father, and my father's father, and his old man, toonGot more done in an hour than most men the whole day donBut they must have made a deal with that specter in the fieldsnJust let us feed our families, and we'll work our whole lives for you.nnCause there was one, two, three, four little mouths to feednAnd there was four, five, six, seven workdays in a weeknAnd before the morning lights, they would have breakfast onnBecause only lazy bones get up at the break of dawnnnAnd they did it Monday for the familynAnd Tuesday for the moneynAnd Wednesday for that twenty acre cropnAnd they did it Thursday and Friday so they'd be able to supper on Saturday's dinner tablenAnd Sunday, lord, because they couldn't stopnnNow, the other half in the city was just as hard and grittynBut instead of planting seeds, they were signing deeds and making loansnAnd though their bodies weren't taking the beatin', it was all just to keep the family eatin'nThey'd spend long nights punching numbers in that back office all alonennBecause that one, two, three, four percent interest rate they were chargin', translated to the most razor-thin of profit marginsnAnd an overhead fluorescent bulb can be as cruel as the sunnBut they would take it in the stomach when there was a job to be donennAnd they did it Monday for the familynAnd Tuesday for the moneynAnd Wednesday for that small savings and loannAnd on Thursday and Friday they ducked their heads so that could spend Saturday night with friendsnAnd Sunday, lord, they did it all alonenYeah, Sunday, lord, they did it all alone
