Hard Time Losin Man by Jim Croce Lyrics
[Chorus]
And you think you've seen trouble
Well you're lookin' at the man, uh-huh
Oh, the world's own original hard luck story
And a hard time losin' man
[Verse 1]
Oh, sometimes skies are cloudy
And sometimes skies are blue
And sometimes they say that you eat the bear
But sometimes the bear eats you
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And sometimes I feel like I should go
Far, far away and hide
'Cause I keep a-waitin' for my ship to come in
And all that ever comes is the tide
[Chorus]
And you think you've seen trouble
Well you're lookin' at the man, uh-huh
Oh, the world's own original hard luck story
And a hard time losin' man
[Verse 2]
Oh I saved up all my money
I'm gonna buy me a flashy car
So I go downtown to see the man
And he's smokin' on a big cigar
[Verse 3]
Well he must've thought I were Rockefeller
Or an uptown man of wealth
He said, "Boy I got the car that's-a made for you
And it's cleaner than the Board of Health"
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Then I got on the highway
Oh, I'm feelin' fine, I hit a bump
Then I found I bought a car held together by a wire
And a couple a' hunks o' twine
[Chorus]
And you think you've seen trouble
Well you're lookin' at the man, uh-huh
Oh, the world's own original hard luck story
And a hard time losin' man
[Verse 4]
Oh, Friday night, feelin' right
I get out on the street
Standin' in the doorway
Was a dealer known as Pete
[Pre-Chorus 3]
But he sold me a dime of some-a super fine
Dynamite from Mexico (super fine, fine, fine)
I spent all that night just tryna get right
On an ounce of oregano (woo)
[Chorus]
And you think you've seen trouble
Well you're lookin' at the man, uh-huh
Oh, the world's own original
Hard luck story
And a hard time losin' man
[Chorus]
If you think you've seen trouble (trouble)
Well you're lookin' at the man, uh-huh
Oh, the world's own original
Hard luck story
And a hard time losin' man
[Chorus]
And you think you've seen trouble (trouble)
Well you're lookin' at the man, uh-huh
Oh, the world's own original
Hard luck story
And a hard time losin' man
[Chorus]
And you think you've seen trouble (trouble)
Well you're lookin' at the man, uh-huh
Oh, the world's own original
Hard luck story
And a hard time losin' man
And you think you've seen trouble
Well you're lookin' at the man, uh-huh
Oh, the world's own original hard luck story
And a hard time losin' man
[Verse 1]
Oh, sometimes skies are cloudy
And sometimes skies are blue
And sometimes they say that you eat the bear
But sometimes the bear eats you
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And sometimes I feel like I should go
Far, far away and hide
'Cause I keep a-waitin' for my ship to come in
And all that ever comes is the tide
[Chorus]
And you think you've seen trouble
Well you're lookin' at the man, uh-huh
Oh, the world's own original hard luck story
