It seems like today, and over the past 15 years, there are more and more people losing everything they had, through no fault of their own, but no one seems to want to help.

Story behind the song
It seems like today, and over the past 15 years, there are more and more people losing everything they had, through no fault of their own, but no one seems to want to help.
Lyrics
Verse 1
The factory just shut down
They told me one day - they didn't have a way to keep me.
It was all I knew - and all I wanted to do now
I worked all my life for nothing
And I never - never saw it coming
And I never - never saw it coming
Verse 2
My family up & left
Without a job - I couldn't really take care of them
And I understand - I tried everything I knew
But nothing seemed to matter
And I never - never saw it coming
And I never - never saw it coming
Verse 3
I've got holes in both my shoes.
I can't bear to wake up & face another day alone
Cause where I am - and where I wanted to be now -
Are two vastly different places.
And I never saw it coming - no, I never saw it coming.
And I never saw it coming - no, I never saw it coming.
Verse 4
The man in the Cadillac
Just pointed at me - and told me to get a job
I said, "That's fine - have you got one you can give me?"
But he just turned away.
He never - never saw me coming
He never - never saw me coming.
