Hard Time Blues
©2006 Jody Dickey / James Odle, Jr.
It's been one of those days
and these working man blues
just won't go away
can't wait for this day to be through
gonna grab my pay
tell you what this working man's gonna do…..
This hoss will be good-bye gone
Hitting those neon lights all night long
grab some ice cold brews
And drown me some blues
If the morning brings bad luck
And I wake up alone in my truck
There'll be just one thing to do......
Crawl back to those hard time blues
Got to loose all this strife
quit working like a hound
might find a rich wife
drive her Caddy all over town
enjoy the good life
but when her money's gone tell you where I'm bound…..
(repeat chorus)
Suns beating down on me
boss is on my behind
and it's barely three
he loves giving me a hard time
clear to beer thirty
but when pay-day comes around I'll be just fine…….
repeat chorus
