Sonny's version follows the word close to verbatim, but he changes the tune and background to the words. We still don't understand how Sonny can play the guitar so well when he has to wear splints on both hands due to carpal tunnel and neuropathy, but he sure can! Tugboat has managed to write lyrics that seem to speak to other artists and inspires them. We have other versions from other artists in the works. And Tugboat gives his permission to use his song any time. He's honored that the song has touched his peers in that way.
The way the world is can be troublin’
Yeah, it shore as hell can be troublin’
Ya gotta take a side, but keep it in stride
Or your own troubles you’ll be doublin’
There is a great need for big change
But remember we all are resistant
Keep all your desires in range
Try your be to be persistent
If you think that change is needed
Really think that change is needed
Whatever you do, change pertains to you
Things to bring it about heeded!
Make every effort for compassion
Sometimes it’s very hard to do
Isn’t always the trending fashion
With some no matter what you do
Gotta do what you can to be stable
Make the effort to keep yourself stable
Passion is fine, but keep it in line
Do it the best that you are able
On occasion, say to hell with it all!
Yeah, just say to hell with it all!
Keep it understood, that life still is good
Cherish things in your life that are small
Every generation has its ills
For sho, generations all have their ills
You’ll wonder what for, we still fightin’ war
After history shows all that it’s killed
Keep fightin’ on for things that are right
But take a break from all of the trends
Enjoy whatever gets you through the night
And your family, neighbors , and friends
