Hard Luck Story
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sometimes I think I'm going crazy
Staring at the same four walls
Waiting for the working day to end
Then you get home so wasted, worn out
You curse at me and tell me
How you've done the work of ten to fifteen men
How you've struggled for your money
Sweated blood to get us by, yeah
Well I'm tired of it honey
Think I'm gonna have to leave for a while
Don’t give me no hard luck stories
And the way you look at life
And the way you think the world treats you
And the way you treat your wife
Don’t you never look at me
And see that somewhere underneath
A pair of tired eyes are crying out
Well I know you work hard all day long
Kiss me once with meaning
Just to kill this nagging doubt
Well I don't deny you do me proud
And I expect you to be tired
There's no future in our lives
While you persist you’re putting out the fire yeah
Don’t give me no hard luck stories
Just a few well chosen words
'Cause I’m still the woman of a working man
I've got the heart of a working girl
