Met a man walking on the side of the road

His name was Joe and his clothes were borrowed

When he spoke all his word had pain

In his eyes and his heart was sorrow



He walked for many miles in the rain

Said hed be walking until tomorrow

His wife took the kids and drove away

With his best friend and moved down to Mexico



He felted hed lost everything

Made a new friend named Johnny Walker

Often (He) cried about his past till Johnny said to him



Sir Times get hard

And Things go wrong

Though you stumble and fall

Dont give up just get up again



You cant complain

bout the heartache and pain

But right there you remain

Till you choose to get up



I met this girl on 42ND street

On her way to work religiously

She looked me in my eyes and said to me

Shes barely able to make ends meet



It broke my heart to have to hear her say

She had three children and one on the way

For her kids she had to be strong

Cause things got rough when their daddy moved on



To proud to ask her family to help her

Cause her father always swore shed be a failure

If it wasnt for her childrens love

She would have given up



3x Times may get hard

And Things may go wrong

Though you stumble and fall

Dont give up just get up again



You cant complain

bout the heartache and pain

When right there youll remain

Till you choose to get up



Times may get hard

And Things may go wrong

Got your self to lean on

Just be strong and hold on



This is your life

Its your time make it right

When they turn out your light

Theres no chance to come back again
