Hard Times Will Be The Best Times

I hear they hire the men in Oklahoma
And I've been blessed with two hard working hands
And I'll take the job till the mill goes back to turnin'
And we'll make it through the hard times again
And these hard times will be the best times we've known
Let's laugh and dream of better days to come
These will be the good old days a little later on
And these hard times will be the best times we've known
Like the preacher said in church last Sanday morning
Though the Lord does things we may not understand
We know he'll always take care of his children
If we'd live every day the best we can
And you know that heaven smiles on us and gives us all we need
We've got so much we should be back or forth
Dry your eyes turn out the lights let me hold you close
And these hard times will be the best times we've known
Yes these hard times will be the best times we've known...
