Hard Blues

There's one thing when a woman leaves When she take off with your best friend That's the kind of misery that just don't seem to end Gettin' over that knife in the back Was the roughest thing he ever had to do That's some hard, awful hard, hard blues It's one thing to lose your job when you just got yourself a babe But when there's five of the mouths cryin' 'Cause they ain't enough to eat And you're down on the bottom scrapin' And they're all countin' on you, yeah they're countin' on you That's some hard, awful hard, hard blues He was just walkin' by, shoulda never tried to run Now you doing ten to twenty for something you ain't never done All they want is a guilty man Nobody cares about the truth, no, no That's some hard, hard, hard blues That's some hard, awful hard, hard blues
