Lyrics
Well, it’s hard to move on down the road when you can’t afford the gas An' to stay alive with the governor’s boot stuck way up your ass At the risin’ cost of gettin’ by we cry out in dismay An’ while we die from health cuts all Tennessee can do is pray When it comes to healthcare all we can do is pray An' they're tryin’ to raise taxes where it hurts the most to pay If you don’t believe in miracles, you better start today ‘Cause when it comes to healthcare all we can do is pray Life here in the Volunteer State used to be mighty good Workin’ just forty hours, there was plenty for rent an’ food But right to life succumbed to No Medicine Bredesen Now we’re all wonderin’ where’s Bill Frist when we need him In Florida's right-to-life twist to save a dead woman’s life Bill sliced and diced the Supreme Court with his surgeon's knife But while folks die in his own state Frist looks the other way An' with healthcare comatose all Tennessee can do is pray When it comes to healthcare all we can do is pray They're tryin’ to raise taxes where it hurts the most to pay If you don’t believe in miracles, you better start today ‘Cause, when it comes to healthcare all we can do is pray Now if you’re down on your luck, better find a four-leaf clover ‘Cause even though our backs are broken, they keep askin’ us to bend over Yeah, when it comes to healthcare, Americans better pray Congress keeps on screwin’ us even without Tom DeLay They’re tryin’ to gut state aid and take Medicare away Yeah, when it comes to healthcare all we can do is pray An’ we’ll likely all be dead before Bill Frist saves the day Yeah, when it comes to healthcare, all we can do is pra-a-a-a-y *
