Hard Lines, Hard Times

We got word about the sunlight

It's much hotter now than it was back before us

I've been staring at the crack beneath the doorway

With the lock turned just enough to keep my enemies away

Hard lines, finding where I lie, hard times

When you took me out to the desert

And the open sky redeemed my hesitation

And the evening sun turned your hair, you're golden

Made me forget I didn't know where I was goin'

Hard lines, finding where I lie, hard times

Breathing up all those cigarettes

On your old front porch

It's been restored but

I still see where we used to sit

There's a burn mark on the plastic armrest

Memory please don't fade

Like a photo left out in the pouring rain

Don't fade, don't fade

Hard lines, finding where I lie, hard times

Hard lines, even when I die, hard times

Hard lines, finding where I lie, hard times
