Hard Blues

(album: The Situation - 2019)

I've been fixing to be laying low
Paid my dues a long time ago
But the Lord seemed fit to make me sweat
That was the best deal I could get

No he don't care
That there's a human being under there
So he's gonna make me go through
Go through these hard blues

My girl got hungry eyes
She's looking like a refugee
She's been through a real hard time
I wish she'd come back to me

Her catastrophe has touched my very soul
Now I'm gonna help her get through
Get through these hard blues

I was fixing to be laying low
Paid my dues a long time ago
I was hoping for the best
But still I don't have time to rest

I'm just another mother's son
Dropping like a falling leaf
And I don't know if I'm going to make it through
Through these hard blues...
