Hard times

Every wind that blows my way

Picks me up easy, I don't carry the weight

And everywhere tossed and turned around

It's back to the middle, halfway in and down



Hard times, (oh, hard times) hard times

Like a freight train hummin' down the line

Hard times, (oh, hard times) hard times

Like a freight train hummin' down the line



I run too fast but I can't keep up

The timing is everything but it's never enough

There's a sleepless night and a candle lit

I shouldn't let'm in but I can't resist it



Hard times, (oh, hard times) hard times

Like a freight train hummin' down the line

Hard times, (oh, hard times) hard times

Like a freight train hummin' down the line



Oh, I've been waitin' on my money

And my hands are broken from the cold

I'm gonna find me a day that's sunny

Because these hard times are all getting old



My dog won't bark, and my rooster won't even crow no more

I've got hard times, and they're comin' for more

Tried to shine my shoes before you cut me loose

I got the in too deep, no way out running blues



Talkin' 'bout hard times, (oh, hard times) hard times

Like a freight train hummin' down the line

I said hard times, (oh, hard times) hard times

Like a freight train hummin' down the line



Hard times, (oh, hard times) hard times

Like a freight train hummin' down the line

Hard times, (oh, hard times) hard times

Like a freight train hummin' down the line
