Ne'er Do Wells Lyrics & Chords By Audra Mae And The Almighty Sound

When I was nine years old
My daddy made me see
The story of the railroad
And how it came to be
He said the men who laid it down
Had left their own hometowns
And broke their backs to give us traction
And that's what he did for me
(CHORUS)
Ne'er do wells and woebegones
Show your face, for we were wrong
Ne'er do wells and woebegones
Feel no shame, it won't be long
Do you ever stop to think
Who built those walls around you?
Do you ever wonder
Who those people were at all?
Because the hands that give you shelter
Are the very ones that you refuse
And the proof of what they're worth
Will live long after you are gone
CHORUS
Come on.
I'm beg'n you listen
With an open heart
Your soul is so cruelly judged
Forgive us for our tresspasses
Were taught to us because
We were raised by people
Raised by people
Just like you and so
When the world falls down around us
It'll lead to you our goal
It'll be unto we all come running
CHORUS
