Hard times, Hard times
We sure hope that those were really THE LAST HARD TIMES
Hard times, Hard times
Never gonna see the likes of THE LAST HARD TIMES

We were poor but didn't know it
Only had a little bit
We made do with what God gave us
Tried not to raise a fuss

Hard times, ev'rybody has 'em
Hard times, nobody wants 'em
Hard times, no one's immune
Someday somethin's gonna pop your balloon

Hard times, hoein' that cotton
Hard times, bringin' that crop in
Hard times, better make do
If you got me covered I'll take care of you

You trusted me, I trusted you
A handshake or an IOU
We were in the same big boat
Tryin' to stay afloat

Hard times, ev'rybody has 'em
Hard times, nobody wants 'em
Hard times, no one's immune
Someday somethin's gonna pop your balloon

Hard times, hoein' that cotton
Hard times, bringin' that crop in
Hard times, better make do
If you got me covered I'll take care of you

Hard times, Hard times
We sure hope that those were really THE LAST HARD TIMES
Hard times, Hard times
Never gonna see the likes of THE LAST HARD TIMES

Work all day to make a buck
Poor ol' mule had to pull my truck
Chicken house with all that muck
We had hard times

Homemade soap, it sure did smell
Carryin' water from the well
Front porch stories we would tell
We had hard times

Some folks say that History
Has a certain tendency
Read that thick book on the shelf
Hist'ry repeats itself

Hard times, ev'rybody has 'em
Hard times, nobody wants 'em
Hard times, no one's immune
Someday somethin's gonna pop your balloon

Hard times, hoein' that cotton
Hard times, bringin' that crop in
Hard times, better make do
If you got me covered I'll take care of you

Hard times, Hard times
We sure hope that those were really THE LAST HARD TIMES
Hard times, Hard times
Hard times, Hard times
As God is my witness in this Land of Spirit
Those were, those were
These are THE LAST HARD TIMES
