Hard Time
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.
When you're down
Kissin' the ground
And your friends downtown
Won't even let you sleep on the floor anymore
When you're holdin' up a cup
On a corner in the cold all night
You start to cry and wonder why
You're doin' hard time
You're doin' hard time, hard time
Even your soul ain't got a dime
You're doin' hard time, hard time
Outta luck, can't make a buck
Try to run but you're stuck
In the muck of your shattered life
Like a knife through your heart tears you apart
You got no one to hold but
Your memories through the night
And you can't see the light
You're doin' hard time
You're doin' hard time, hard time
Even your soul ain't got a dime
You're doin' hard time, hard time
When you're found they push you around
You got no one to hold but
Your memories through the night
You can't see the light
You're doin' hard time
You're doin' hard time, hard time
Even your soul ain't got a dime
You're doin' hard time, hard time
When you're found they push you around
You got no one to hold but
Your memories through the night
You can't see the light
