WAITING FOR THE HARD TIMES TO GO

(0. GRAND/ L. BASSON)Cami-Zack Publishing (PRS) 1993

I CAN'T PUT MY FINGER ON IT
IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT I FEEL
I DON'T LIKE TO BE COMPLAINING
BUT MY LIFE'S BEEN A RAW DEAL
AND WHEN I START TO QUESTION
THESE HARD TIMES I'M LIVING THROUGH
CAN'T FIND ME ANY ANSWERS
CAN'T FIND NOTHING BUT THE BLUES

I WORK THE HOURS GOD SENT ME
BUT THERE'S NOT ENOUGH TIME IN THE DAY
CAUSE THE MONEY THAT I'M EARNIN
DOESN'T LET ME FIND MY WAY
I CAN'T PUT MY FINGER ON IT
BUT INSIDE OF ME I KNOW
THAT SOMETHING AIN’T RIGHT BROTHER
WHEN THESE HARD TIMES JUST WON'T GO

NOW YOU CAN SAY THERE'S MONEY OWING
WAY BACK FROM 1983
BUT HOW CAN I PAY BACK ANYTHING
HOW CAN I EVER BE FREE
THE HARD TIMES ARE WITH ME BABY
WITH THEIR HAND AROUND MY THROAT
SOMETIMES I WORRY DARLIN
THAT EVEN MY SOUL , EVEN MY SOUL IS GOING BROKE

MAYBE ONE DAY WE'LL MAKE IT
WE’VE ALL GOT TO HAVE A CHANCE
BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE GOING NOWHERE
JUST WAITING FOR THESE HARD TIMES TO GO BY
I TELL YOU IT'S NOT RIGHT PEOPLE
I’M A GROWN MAN BUT I CRY
I THINK I'M PLAYING A LOSING GAME
WAITING TILL THESE HARD TIMES GO BY
