Hard Times (All Around)

Hard times in Tennessee Led to hard times in New York town Far be it from me To be someone who brings you down Hard times in California It must be hard times all around From the gold San Francisco Bay To the gray Long Island Sound Looks like hard, hard times all around Hard times in New Orleans Led to hard times in Houston Everybody packing up their dreams To beat a flood to higher ground Hard times in the U.S.A And it's hard times in Mexico Politicos play their changing games And you can stay, now you must go Looks like hard, hard times all around (Hard times all around) (Hard times all around) But you know it gets better over time It gets better over time Hard times in the New World order me A ball and a cord of wine Hard times make a futile borderline Between yours and mine Hard times on a planet blue Lonesome, spinning around and around Hard times say the headline news And we'll see ya underground Looks like hard, hard times all around (Hard times all around) (Hard times all around) (Hard times all around) (Hard times)
