Hard Times by Cottonwood Cutups Lyrics

As I look up to the sky, With my hollow, empty eyes
I ask myself: where did I go wrong?

I spent my last dime, On an old jug of wine
All I got left, ain't nothing but a song

I'd give you my shoes, For one more lick of booze
One more lick of booze, to get me through

(Chorus 1)
Something tells me, the hard times are yet to come
And I think that my time round here is nearly done
And I know it ain't much but I’ll give you all I know
Guess I’ll be moving on now…Here I go

I’d sell you my soul, For one more pull
Just one more pull, To get me high

Cuz I've been so down, Roaming from town to town
I just can't pick myself up, off the ground
I been down in gritty bars, And snuck onto railroad cars
I've spent the night blacked out in the gutter

(Chorus 2)
Something tells me, the hard times are yet to come
And I think that my time round here is nearly done
And I know it ain't much but I’ll give you all I know
Guess I’ll be moving on now…Moving on down the road

When this life is through, will I ever get my due?
Or will the end be just another night?

I'd trade my left ear, For one more can of beer
One more can to quench this awful thirst

Many restless nights, huddled under stairwell flights
Wondering if this rain will ever stop?

(Chor. 2)
