Tim O'brien - Hard Year Blues lyrics

I tried to tell you that we'd make it through somehow You wouldn't listen and I wouldn't blame you now I ain't got money but I sure got bills to pay I roll my cigarettes a little smaller every day Chorus: It's been a long hard year That wouldn't be so bad Darlin, if I only had you near My kids need new shoes But I ain't no money machine All my overtime is gone for gasoline On a car that's running down Getting me to work in town Meanwhile you're running around My heart is wearing a frown Chorus I read the news in the papers everday Hard times a comin and I guess they're here to stay I ain't got money I've just got some bills to pay I roll my cigarettes a little smaller everyday Chorus If I had you near
