lyrics

Jesse runs a restaurant on the other side of town
She works her fingers to the bone to keep her kids around
She don’t go out dancing but she pays her bills on time
When she’s home she’s cookin’ meals like poets rippin’ rhyme
Her Grandson laughs and she cant even help but to crack a smile
--
Harry’s sellin’ houses to all the working class
An honest man who makes his wage in a job that doesn’t last
He don’t own no car, but he ain’t goin’ nowhere
Ever since he lost the war he don’t really care
But his wife spins the table she knows his soul and he’s doin fine
Cos life don’t slow and broken hearts all beat in time
--
Linda’s teaching children, with a love that doesn’t die
Every child is like her own with a mind that’s made of fire
Her health it has been fading, but she don’t turn away
She loves her family with all she’s got until her dying day
A hero as true as any that you’d hear in a song
Cos life don’t slow and broken hearts all meet in time
--
A man is in the corner, smoke whirls round his head
An empty space is next to him where Linda laid her head
In a world full of laughter, and buckets full of rain
He can’t seem to quench his thirst and cut the iron chains
But life don’t slow and broken hearts are free in time
No life don’t slow and broken hearts are free in time
