Three & A Half Letters
Chickenfoot

I'm thirty seven years old

Married to my childhood sweetheart

Two beautiful girls

Two and half and four


Worked nine years at the plant my father worked

And his father before him

I have a BA but laid off seven months ago

It's been tough like so many others but I still believe


Can you help me, brother?

Can you help?


I need a job, I need a job

I'm willing to work but I need a job

I stand in the streets with a sign in my hand

But I need the work and I need a job, yeah


I just returned from Afghanistan

Spent four years in the military service

I'm twenty four, strong

And I can't find work in my hometown


Married with one beautiful son

Seven months old today

Never had a chance to buy a home

Can't afford the apartment we've been living in


Moving in with Debbie's parents

Whose home in now in foreclosure

Can you help?


I need a job, I need a job

I'm willing to work but I need a job

I stand in the streets with a sign in my hand


I'm willing to work but I need a job


I'm sorry this letter is handwritten

But I don't have a computer

I don't have access to one


I'm fifty one years old

I lost my wife to breast cancer three years ago

Lost my job of twenty six years one year later

I'm homeless with no one to turn to


I've been through a lot, brother

I heard you like to help people

Well, I need help


Yeah, I need a job, I need a job

I'm willing to work but I need a job

I stand in the streets with a sign in my hand

I'm willing to work but I need a job


I got nothing, lost it all

Can I get back to zero

Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero

I need a job


Yeah, I need a job

I need a job


And the last letter said

I'm nine years old and homeless

Fuck
