Haggard, Merle - 1929 Lyrics
All my life I've heard about hard depression days
They so resemble times we're living now
And old news of yesteryear sounds like yesterday
And hunger lines always look the same somehow
A dollar bill ain't worth one thin dime
And tricks are sometimes played upon the mind
Are we living now or 1929
Old songs tell about the way it was back then
I think I've sung ‘em all from time to time
It looks like we are headed for the same old fall again
But a hard depression blues would sure do fine
Are we living now or is it 1929
And tricks are sometimes played upon the mind
Are we living now or 1929
The devil's changed the candy flavor some
Somehow we've gone to drugs instead of wine
But old skid row is still alive where the demons run
Is it the eighties now or 1929
Are we living now or is it 1929
A dollar bill ain't worth one thin dime
And tricks are sometimes played upon the mind
Is it really now or 1929

Haggard, Merle 1929 Comments
I always wondered if I was the only one who bought this album.
I was listening to this song on a juke box in Norfolk, Virginia in 1975 when I was a young 21 year old Marine.
