Hard Times lyrics
Song information
Artist: Chris Ledoux Album: Powder River
Lyrics
The ole man stand by the lone chute, he sold his calves t'day He spits in the dust between his boots, as the semi pulls away The slick blue check in his grimy hands, shoves down in his coat It won't make the payment on the land, or pay the interst on the note Oh...it's hard, hard times.. He's a young man with a loving wife, 2 children and a home Plans to build a better life, and put a mortagage on his own He lost his job when the boom went bust, still got bills to pay Now he's pickin' up cans in the roadside dust, she's at the feed-rack Cafe Oh....it's hard, hard times.. Now the ole grey banker sits behind his desk, beneath a worried frown Shuffles throught the tangled mess of some good folks goin' down He's known some of 'em for 30 years, and some point the finger of blame An' no one sees the banker's tears, except the one who shares his name Oh...it's hard, hard times.. Oh...it's hard, hard times..
