Hard times are killing me A long day and a bottle at a time Gotta be more to life Then barely getting by Beat down working overtime Break my back just trying to make a dime Goddamn it’s all wrong When nothing’s going right Gave my word and I won’t break it Here’s my hand go on and take it through… Hard times And I can’t keep my focus on the finish line Hard times And I can’t keep my focus on the finish line Hard times are getting bad All that’s left is less than what we had I tried, but I can’t find any way to get ahead My hands are cracked and empty Tired from the weight that’s on me That light, down the tunnel, is getting hard to see Gave my word and I won’t break it Here’s my hand go on and take it through… Hard times Well I can’t keep my focus on the finish line Hard times And I can’t keep my focus on the finish line Gave my word and I won’t break it Here’s my hand go on and take it through… Hard times And I can’t keep my focus on the finish line Hard times And I can’t keep my focus on the finish line On the finish line On the finish line On the finish line
