Hard Time Songtext
von Michael Stanley Band

Stanley Michael
Volume 3: 1981 to 1986
Hard Time
from "You Can′t Fight Fashion", 1983, EMI-America Records Group

This ain't no Casablanca...
this ain′t no black & white
Everybody's armed and dangerous--
someone's gonna buy it tonight...

And what about the dream
they said would save you?
Oh, Lord--tell it to
the guys who fought the war...

--′Cause you know they′re doin'


(CHORUS:)
...Hard time
Hard time
It ain′t the way that they told us about it--
it ain't that way anymore...
They′re doin'
...hard time
Hard time
It′s a history of us--the friends and the lovers--
the ones that the good times are for
...Hard time

Me, I've got my moments...
You, you've had your fill
This′d be one dead cowboy--
baby, if looks could kill...

And walkin′ away just
ain't that romantic...
Oh, Lord--and ain′t that
what we came here for?...

--But now we're doin′


(CHORUS:)
...Hard time
Hard time
It ain't the way that they told us about it--
it ain′t that way anymore...
We're doin'
...hard time
Hard time
It′s a history of us--the friends and the lovers--
the ones that the good times are for
...Hard time

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Hard time...
Hard time...
Hard time
