    The Stand - by James Mahaffey


    I’m livin’ in the back of my Hummer.
    I’m livin’ in the back of my Hummer.
    Times are tough, they cut my pay.
    The banker took my house away.
    I’m living in the back of my Hummer

    What do I do with all my suits and ties?
    What do I do with all my suits and ties?
    I got laid off, don’t need ‘em no more.
    I’ll give ‘em to the Goodwill store.
    That’s what I’ll do with all my suits and ties.

    I can’t seem to find another job.
    I can’t seem to find another job.
    I’m 42 and I’m frustrated.
    It seems that I’ve become outdated.
    I just can’t seem to find another job.

    So what to do when the unemployment’s gone?
    So what to do when the unemployment’s gone?
    I’ll sell my Hummer and buy a tent.
    It ain’t much, but it’s cheap rent.
    That’s what I’ll do when the unemployment’s gone.

    When they finally come for my guitar,
    Oh, when they finally come for my guitar-
    Looks like it’s time to make a stand
    They’ll have to pry from my cold, dead hands
    They’ll have a rough time when they come for my guitar.
    They’ll have a fight on their hands when they come for my guitar.
