John Mellencamp - Hard Times For An Honest Man Lyrics
One man does his workHes not satisfied not at allFeels like that hes being usedHis self respect starts to fallHis frustrationRunnin very very high he takes it outOn the ones he loves, because its safeAnd who they gonna tellAnd he hates that cold-bloodednessThat runs insideChorus:Oh yesIts hard times, for an honest manVery very hard timesHard times, for an honest manVery very hard timesSister,Shes got a lot of prideYou can see it when she walks into the roomBut shes youngAnd shes unawareOf what a brutal world can do to youSo she loves a manHe lies like a dogTears her little world all apartSo the walls go upFor the rest of her daysAnd there aint no man can touch thisGirls heartChorus:Oh yes.Its hard times, for an honest manVery very hard timesHard times, for an honest manVery very hard timesSo we walkFrom the front porch to the back yardJust to laugh and say hello andSay goodbyeBut some days are hard, like aSoldiers steel-toed bootsAnd the rent we pay to stay hereGets highChorus:Oh yes.Its hard times, for an honest manVery very hard timesHard times, for an honest manVery very hard times
