HARDWORLD
By Doug Siegel
VERSE:
They called the police in Arkansas
But I was already headed out of town
They kicked my ass with them cowboy boots
But I still got paid
Taxman came for his share
I tied?em up and left ?em in his underwear
He swore I would not get away
But you know damn well I ain?t gonna stay
CHORUS:
It?s a hard world that we live
If you let it break you
You will lose
VERSE:
I lost my friends in New Orleans
But found myself a tasty Cajun queen
Her lipstick red her hair the same
Need I continue to explain
She took me home we were alone
But papa soon gave us a surprise
He kicked me out of her bedroom
It was a good thing I came so soon
CHORUS:
INSTRUMENTAL:
