Hard times is about to get me

Hard times, they hurt my hands

Hard times, it took my woman

Hard times lead her to a richer man



Caught in the middle of some fool's advice

If you work real hard, you get a piece of the pie

Can't you hear that laughing? No, the jokes don't end

Consider my resources, it's a hard time to eat



Hard times, it's rough all around

Hard times, it's all gonna end

Hard times, just thinking about it

Consider my resources, it's a hard time to eat



Hard times...

Hard times...

Hard times...
