Hard Times

[Chorus]
Hard times ain't half as bad as sad times
That's what I leaned in my life
Hard times no money sad times no honey
Hard times ain't half as bad as sad times

[Verse 1]
The biggest load I ever carried on my back
Is a memory of a girl that I left waiting once for me
I set out to make a dollar just so I could come back taller
And the low down fool I counted me to be

[Chorus]
Hard times ain't half as bad as sad times
That's what I leaned in my life
Hard times no money sad times no honey
Hard times ain't half as bad as sad times

[Verse 2]
I spent hours working hard to meet the sun
Never thinking that the one that I love could be untrue
I don't blame her for finding someone leaving me behind
Guess that was the best thing for her to do

[Chorus]
Hard times ain't half as bad as sad times
That's what I leaned in my life
Hard times no money sad times no honey
Hard times ain't half as bad as sad times
Hard times ain't half as bad as sad times
That's what I leaned in my life
Hard times no money sad times no honey
Hard times ain't half as bad as sad times
