Hard Time

about

Rock and Roll with some roots showing.

lyrics

36 months behind me and a life ahead
Shoulda found a job, but I took the easy money instead
Lost my guitar, most everything I had in the world
Eight hours on a bus to see if I’ve got my girl
Oooooooh
I did one year less, ya know they say that I was well behaved
Got my ass in shape and my wild hair cleaned and shaved
She’s gonna be surprised to see that I’m not freee
She’s gonna open the door and see a brand new me…

Well, I can’ say the punishment fit the crime, but I made the best of my hard time

Read 99 books and even got my GED
Be the man she deserves the man I’m supposed to be
Cover up this neck tattoo with a collared shirt
So I can get a better job than shoveling in the dirt

Well I can’t say the punishment fit the crime but I made the best of my hard time

My heart’s in my throat as I approach her door.
She was the world to me, the world and so much more
And just like that my heart is torn and blue
By a guy named Don and a son that just turned two…

Oh now that punishment fits the crime, looks like the start of real hard time
Now that punishment fits the crime, looks like the start of real hard time…
