Hard Times (Album Version) Lyrics

I took to sorrow let it follow me around

Like a gloomy shadow from an ol' rain cloud

Trouble come a knockin' on my front door

I let it on in and I asked for more

We sat around talkin' in circles from dusk to dawn

But now it's so long old friend, hard times be gone

I hid my smile from the light of day

Went walkin' down the street without a word to say

Kept my eyes to the pavement, my feet to the cracks

Weight of the world sittin' square on my back

It near broke me in two, 'til I just moved on

Now it's so long old friend, hard times be gone

Oh I found the blue sky

Oh I found a sparkle in your eye

Look out horizon, I'm a'runnin' you down

Got the wind at my back and smooth sailin' now

Just an old memory of where I've been

And the high kind of feelin', bein' free again

Now I've got a brighter day to call upon

And it's so long old friend, hard times be gone

Yeah, look out horizon, I'm a'runnin' you down

Got the wind at my back and smooth sailin' now

Just an old memory of where I've been

And the high kind of feelin', bein' free again

Now I've got a brighter day to call upon

And it's so long old friend, hard times be gone
