歌词
Walking down the rocky road
He wonders which way he should go
And what will he tell his wife and family
Walking on in the winter chill
He’s just a man trying to pay his bills
He carries the weight of the world on his shoulders
He’s doing the best he can
He’s fighting for his land, but these are
Hard times, for a working man
Hard times, try to understand
Hard times, for a working man
He ain’t got a job, he ain’t got a job
Don’t think he’ll get one again
I saw a child the other day
An innocent child at simple play
But he don’t know anything about his daddy’s problems
Kid wiped a tear from his mother’s eye
Said, tell me Daddy, why does my Mamma cry
And he said, Son, I’ll tell you when you’re older
I’m doing the best I can
In time you’ll understand, but these are
Hard times, for a working man
Hard times, try to understand
Hard times, for a working man
Will he get a job, will he get a job
Moved the family a hundred miles to make a beginning
He took a job in a factory then the recession hit in
They closed the pits in ninety two
Now what’s a man supposed to do
And what does he tell his wife and family
He’s putting up a fight
Standing for his rights, but these are
Hard times, for a working man
Hard times, try to understand
Hard times, for a working man
He ain’t got a job, but these are
Hard times, for a working man
Hard times, try to understand
Hard times, for a working man
Will he get a job, will get a job
He’s a working man, he’s a working man
Try to understand
