Harder and Harder Lyrics

Spent some time out on the road

Bringin' empty pockets home

Singin' songs nobody knows and never will

Yeah, like the grass under a storm

Like New Orleans under a storm

I was held down by the hand I'd been holdin

Yeah, oh, it gets harder and harder

I ain't lookin' back

But I know that I ain't gettin' any farther

Every page I never turned

Everything I never learned

Left a fire inside that never burned

Yeah, when you lay it all down

When you fade into the sound

You just drift away on every note

Yeah, oh, it gets harder and harder

I ain't lookin' back

But I know that I ain't gettin' any farther

So I wander

I slip through every crack

And the road ahead just keeps on gettin' harder

I think it's one long race

With a tape you'll never break

Like a bow that you can't ever untie

It gets thrown in your face

And it knocks you off the pace

But it feels like something's sleepin' inside

So when my morning light breaks

And the ground beneath me shakes

And my one and only road is on

Yeah, I will stand upon that stage

The only soul I could not save

Singin' every word I've never sung

Yeah, now it gets harder and harder

I ain't lookin' back

But I know that I ain't gettin' any farther

So I wander

I slip through every crack

And the road ahead just keeps on gettin' harder
