Thank you John for this song - it breaks my heart because it is all so real to me - My dad retired after 36 years of working for General Motors in Cleveland Ohio - We lost him a few years back but now I worry that all he worked for will be lost- for now we worry what will happen to my mom as my dad thought she would be okay with his pension that may not ring true here so. It makes me mad so very mad when I hear people blame the factory worker and not those who are really to blame. I relate to this song as I was raised in a little farm community in Colebrook,OHIO and it is a shame how many farmers have lost and will lose their farms.

I’ve loved the song on the radio. It really hits home. The first time I saw the video, I cried. It’s so real. God bless you John!
