Jesse Revel - Hard Times Lyrics

You love someone so much
And then they go
And that hole they leave insidies is so deep
You'll never know
How deep that bottom is til that bottom comes up
Slaps you in the face like the hand of god
Up all night drinking til the moon comes down
And you hurt yourself to sleep
To that awful sound
Of the world gone quiet
And an empty home
And if you never knew before boy
Now you know

Hard times comin' cause hard times come

A life spent working just to float instead of sink
And after fifty years what's left to do but drink
To those good years working
While the dreams went by
Life they say is what happens
While you wonder why
Livin' ain't easy even when you really try
And who you gonna be
By the time you die?
The mystery so deep
It makes you need to cry
All the questions without answers
The pain and the lies and

Hard times comin' cause hard times come

Sometimes you get so sick you almost go
The only cure for sick at heart
Is going slow
And hoping someday soon
The pain is gonna end
And after you can smile some and try to love again
What you'd do and what you'd trade
It never matters none
The control you feel
Is another lie been spun
Pray to your god all you need
See what changes come
But in the darkest hour
Of that never coming dawn you gotta know

Hard times comin'
Cause hard times come
