Woody's Hood Boogie Woogie Lyrics

We're goin out tonight so we can clear our worried heads, and shake some dust off.
We gotta get up every day at 8 and see the whole day through,
with no time to waste.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e78442-good_old_war~woodys_hood_boogie_woogie_lyrics.html ]
Ya know I've heard terrible things, but nothing near as close to home,
and nothing oh so sad.

It's got me thinking, I'm hoping that won't happen to us.

I just can't believe he lost his lover and his child, both in the same day.
Now his baby's gone to heaven and his wife has lost her mind.
Oh it's a damn shame.

Let's go drinkin', I'm hoping that won't happen to us.

Should we go down to church on every Wednesday and Sunday morning,
to be on God's side?

I've been thinkin, about living life my way,
and the truth is, that we'll all get burned,
some day.
