Lyrics
Hard Time,
Mama's got no money and the snow is deep
"Danny, how we gonna make it without no heat?"
Hard Time
No-one's round to help us and it's almost night
Cucooned in blankets before the beach-fire light
You know we're gonna make it
Hard Time
Hard Time
Gonna make it fine
Hard Time
Grandma's lost her marbles
and the baby's here
He came too early
no hospital
anywhere near
Hard Time
200 miles later
Sherri's almost gone
Doctors save her life
thank God
but the baby's dead son
you know he didn't make it
Hard Time
Hard Time
Gonna make it mine
Hard Time
Keep Moving Down the Line
Til we reach the Light Divine.
