Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I was young, my daddy said, "Son
Never be ashamed of where you're from
There's nothin' wrong with your last name
So don't be lookin' for people to blame
[Verse 2]
Hard times, they come, and they go
And most of the time, they're in the middle of the road
It's the same pain in different ways
Don't you know, Son, when it pours, it rains"
[Chorus]
Hard times
The middle of your road
Hard times
Creepin' up on the good folks you know
Hard times
But I'm never gone, the wood burnin' the stove
Hard times
From the California hills to the Coverdale Road
[Verse 3]
You got yours, and I'll have mine
Lots of good folks have tried and tried
To make a livin' on minimum wage
You're coming up short nearly every day
[Verse 4]
What's enough, and what's the cost?
And you're all broke down, and all is lost
They roll us up, and your doors are locked
And there's a poor boy livin' on every block
[Chorus]
Singin' hard times
The middle of your road
Hard times
Creepin' up on the good folks you know
Hard times
Your daddy wakes up in the liquor store
Yeah, that's hard times
The California hills to the Coverdale Road
[Bridge]
When I was young, my daddy said, "Son
Never be ashamed of where you're from
Nothin' wrong with your last name
So don't be lookin' for people to blame
Hard times, they come, and they go
And most of the time, they're in the middle of your road
It's the same pain in different ways
Don't you know when it pours, it rains
And it'll always be around
Followin' you from town to town
But you can get up when it puts you down
'Cause everybody's got 'em if you look around"
[Chorus]
Hard times
The middle of your road
Hard times
All the good folks you know
Hard times
[Outro]
People singing
Hard times
People singing
Hard times
People singing
Hard times
People singing
Hard times
