Hard Time Blues - Vargas Blues Band

downtown people live in a harsh reality

walk among the homeless,

no so hard to see

searching for hand-outs on these

heartless city streets

nobody seems to notice faces

filled with grief

hard time blues

just can’t win

ev’ry way you lose

hard time blues

around the corner

hard times on the loose

crack dealers profit from

their daily sells

gang wars racing, it’s a living hell

cold blood running,

can’t you feel the chill

don’t leave your house tonight

just might get you killed

hard time blues

just can’t win

ev’ry way you loose

can’t you see that i’m running

running just like a fool

nowhere to run to baby

from these hard time

hard time blues

these hard time blues

yeah, hard time blues

the hard time

hard time blues

don’t watch your tv,

or read the daily press

the world’s light is dimming,

the economy’s depressed

preacher’s on probation,

the president is stressed

worrying 'bout elections,

votes he needs to get

hard time blues

just can’t win

ev’ry way you lose

hard time blues

around the corner

hard times on the loose.
