Well it was hard times, Even for these times.
A day like today, could be Hell to pay!

Life sure gets colder as the days gets older.
Passions cool, the flames smolder.
And when it came time to ride the trend,
You know it wasn't easy, had to learn to bend.


Well it was hard times, Even for these times.
Hard times today, hard times here to stay!

When the school of hard knocks learn's ya too late,
And you can't slow down 'cause the distance is great.
For each time bad luck seems to close the door,
The next door open get's harder for sure.

Well it was hard times Even for these times.
Hard times today, Hard times here to stay.

Yeah the Univeristy of Life,
Just banged me up, tossed me strife!
Easier every day just to give up,
But that "easy" just never filled my cup.

Well it was hard times, Even for these times.
If there's trouble today, gonna' come my way.

The saints say better to have loved and lost,
Then never loved at all, but what a cost?
But for me these days, let me tell you friend,
Love is just something that I use to be in.

Well it was hard times Even for these times.
Hard times today, Hard time's here to stay.

But the hardest thing ever put my way,
Was leavin' the one I could live with today,
Cuz' it was hard times, without a doubt
When I left for the one, I couldn't live WITHOUT!

You may see some truth in this old advice,
Learn from mistakes, don't do it twice.
They say a good man reaps what he sows,
Hard times for me, hard times's my road.

Well it was hard times, Even for these times.
Sure as today Hard times' here to stay.

They see me now and ask me, "does the bell toll?"
I tell them just listen, it's hard times on a ROLL!!

Well it was hard times, Nothing but hard times.
Well it was hard times, without a doubt.
When I left for the one, I couldn't live without.

Well it was hard times, even for these times.
Yeah, it was hard times, even for these times.
Hard times today, hard times here to stay.
