Thrift Store Coats

It happened one lazy afternoon
When the kids had played
Too long at school
Late made dinner
And snatched up news
“Funds dried up and my job cut loose”
Beans are all we have for you
Plant a garden sewn with bruise
We were spoiled our whole lives through
If this is a test
Can we see it through?

Frozen hopes
And thrift store coats
They don’t cost a thing
If you’re broke
The plan we had
Is just a joke
And we don’t know a thing

Back out the wind
With the shutters loose
Coldest draft
Sweeping through
Wrap up the dollies
Where I meet you
Stay real close
I'll get you through
Dreams are all we have for you
Can we wake from this one
Cold and blue?
We were spoiled our whole life through
This is a test
To see it through

Frozen hopes
And thrift store coats
They don’t cost a thing
When you’re broke
The plan we had
Is just a joke
And we don’t know a thing

[Instrumental break]

Frozen hopes
And thrift store coats
They don’t cost a thing
When you’re broke
The plan we had
Is just a joke
And we don’t know a thing

Our [?]
Our hands are open wide
Frozen hopes
And thrift store coats
We don't know a thing
