Hard Time Lyrics

Stanley Michael
Volume 3: 1981 to 1986
Hard Time
From "You Can't Fight Fashion", 1983, EMI-America Records Group

This ain't no Casablanca...
This ain't no black & white
Everybody's armed and dangerous--
Someone's gonna buy it tonight...

And what about the dream
They said would save you?
Oh, Lord--tell it to
The guys who fought the war...

--'Cause you know they're doin'

[Chorus]
...Hard time
Hard time
It ain't the way that they told us about it--
It ain't that way anymore...
They're doin'
...hard time
Hard time
It's a history of us--the friends and the lovers--
The ones that the good times are for
...Hard time

Me, I've got my moments...
You, you've had your fill
This'd be one dead cowboy--
Baby, if looks could kill...

And walkin' away just
Ain't that romantic...
Oh, Lord--and ain't that
What we came here for?...

--But now we're doin'

[Chorus]
...Hard time
Hard time
It ain't the way that they told us about it--
It ain't that way anymore...
We're doin'
...hard time
Hard time
It's a history of us--the friends and the lovers--
The ones that the good times are for
...Hard time

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Hard time...
Hard time...
Hard time
