Hard to Make It

歌詞

Lonesome stranger, won't you share my bed The sidewalk siren at the bus stop said Love is a tear in a salty bay and it's Hard to make it in this world today Love is a river but the river run dry The clouds blow bitter in a boneyard sky Flesh dries up and it burns away And you can't remember where your heart once lay and it's Hard to make it in this world today Dandy don, he's a velvet hand He's my silent partner, he's the inside man Holds me shakin' through the shotgun dawn and he Keeps me walkin' down this road i'm on Keeps me runnin' when he calls my name Shines the light but he kills the flame Stones me simple when i try to speak Bruise my face but he kiss my cheek and it's Hard to make it when you get this weak One of these mornins, gonna spread my wings Like a red-ass robin at the gates of spring Rise up singin' on a cyclone wind Till the walls of this city come tumblin' in Walls of this city come tumblin', rumblin' 'round my head like an old man stumblin' I don't care if the mountains fall There's a little blue egg in the middle of this all and it's Hard to make it when you feel so small Bus pulled up and i climbed inside I sat in the window and i waved goodbye She stood starin' at the blue machine Singin' nobody knows the trouble i've seen Nobody cares and nobody knows Only weeds remember where your headstone grows and it's Dust to ashes and wings to clay and i Check my wallet as we pull away, 'cause it's Hard to make it in this world today
