Hard Year Blues — текст песни (Tim O`Brien)

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 wouldnt 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
