Fell on Hard Times

Since I fell on hard times I haven't known what to do I spend my days here in line Just waiting for something new From fireworks and peaches To weed, speed and bluegrass From buses that burn And barns that lean down As far as my memory reaches Since I fell on hard times I haven't known where to go I thought I might have seen a sign With the first dust of snow And now I know it added up to nothing And now I'm no longer sure If my prayers are just a habit If I'm just a fool For thinking life ain't worth living Since I fell on hard times And no one knows just what lay in store No one knows just what we're in for No one knows, nobody knows Since I fell on hard times I haven't known right from wrong But Lord knows I've been trying To find where I belong I keep dreaming about branches On these air patrolled highways I guess it just comes from living life alone In these hotels shaped like ashes Since I fell on hard times I ain't been feeling that good I tell the world that I'm fine I'd change it all if I could You know I would I sold my green leather jacket In front of the Piedmont cafe And ever since then I've been looking for someone To help while these days away Since I fell on hard times And no one knows just what lay in store No one knows just what we're in for No one knows nobody knows Nobody knows Nobody knows who'll be the next to go Since I fell on hard times I can't believe what I've seen To live such a different life Than the one that you dreamed It's all part of a story But it has no end From fortunes that turn to reasons we find To live it all over again Since I fell on hard times Since I fell on hard times Since I fell on hard times Since I fell on hard times
