Hard Times

Walls are closing in
Lost my only friend
And my girl she walked away
And we can’t seem to make amends
I can’t pay my rent
And I can’t even sleep at night
Black cat won’t cross my path
And my chest is getting tight
Hard times
Nothing but worry on my mind
Hard times
Nothing but trouble on my mind
I step on every crack
Breaking every mirror
Walking under ladders
You know the pictures getting clearer
I got a
Flat tire on my automobile
And a black crow in my windowsill
I can’t even pay my bills
And I got a fever and I'm feeling ill
Hard times
Nothing but worry on my mind
Hard times
Nothing but troubles on my mind
