[Lyric] Hard Times Pass Me By (Pert Near Sandstone)

[Verse]
All you good time rounders you got nothing else to lose
Wasting all your money on women and on booze
There’s hard times coming, I can’t get you on the phone
If you heard the news I sent, you’d put that bottle down

[CH]
Hard times, hard times, pass me on by
I’ll could be a better man just gimme time to try
I’ve had my share of trouble, more than I could say
Hard times, hard times, stay away from me

[Verse]
Everything I did last night is waiting at the door
Meeting in the morning, come to settle up the score
The bottle is a short road that ends with a hole
In the bottom of that hole is where my troubles ought to go

[CH]

[Verse]
Everybody already knows you can buy fancy clothes
But a new suit can’t hide when you’re troubled inside
I’ve never been so drunk/ that I could lose these blues/
If I could put em in a trunk/ I’d mail them back to you
[CH]
