Hard Times Lyrics (Verse 1) All that I want Is to wake up fine Tell me that I’m alright That I Ain’t gonna die All that I want Is a hole in the ground You can tell me when it’s alright For me to come out (Chorus 1) HARD TIMES Gonna make you wonder why you even try HARD TIMES Gonna take you down and laugh when you cry THESE LIVES And I still don't know how I even survive HARD TIMES HARD TIMES and i gotta get to rock bottom (Verse 2) Walking around With my little raincloud Hanging over my head And it ain’t coming down Where do I go? Gimme some sort of sign Hit me with lightning! Maybe I’ll come alive (Chorus 2) HARD TIMES Gonna make you wonder why you even try HARD TIMES Gonna take you down and laugh when you cry THESE LIVES And I still don't know how I even survive HARD TIMES HARD TIMES and i gotta get to rock bottom (Bridge) Tell my friends I’m coming down We'll kick it when I hit the ground Tell my friends I’m coming down We'll kick it when I hit the ground when I hit the ground, when I hit the ground when I hit the ground, when I hit the ground (Chorus 3) x2 HARD TIMES Gonna make you wonder why you even try HARD TIMES Gonna take you down and laugh when you cry THESE LIVES And I still don't know how I even survive HARD TIMES HARD TIMES and i gotta get to rock bottom If you have any suggestions please email me, thanks.
