A hard life makes a hard man
And hard love makes a hard wife
This house we built on thin ice
Hard luck and hard times
I was born where I stand
And I was raised with two strong hands
I'll fight for what's mine
I've never known any better times
Chorus
My body's tired and growing old
Like a stream train running out of coal
Dreams fade without a sound
Till everything you've ever loved is broken down
Chorus
A hard life makes a hard man
And hard love makes a hard wife
This house we built on thin ice
Hard luck and hard times
I was born where I stand
And I was raised with two strong hands
I'll fight for what's mine
I've never known any better times
Chorus
My body's tired and growing old
Like a stream train running out of coal
Dreams fade without a sound
Till everything you've ever loved is broken down
Chorus
