Theres Nothing Soft About Hard Times — текст песни (Jimmy Buffett)

By: jimmy buffett

1970

Every day held a new surprise

I watched the hunger burning in my sisters eyes

The paste-board shack we called a home

Would haunt me in my dreams

cause theres nothing soft about hard times

Theres nothing soft about hard times



We never knew anything groovy

A dime meant bread and not a movie

The muscles that controlled my smile were rarely ever used

cause theres nothing soft about hard times

Theres nothing soft about hard times



Chorus:

I had to go cause I could see

I wasnt meant for poverty

The family ties were broken soon

I went off to find the moon



So I sit on a bench in jackson square

I drink my wine and I breathe the midnight air

Tomorrow Ill just hit the street and bum another dime

cause theres nothing soft about hard times

Theres nothing soft about hard times



Chorus:

I had to go cause I could see

I wasnt meant for poverty

The family ties were broken soon

I went off to find the moon



So I sit on a bench in jackson square

I drink my wine and I breathe the midnight air

Tomorrow Ill just hit the street and bum another dime

cause theres nothing soft about hard times

Theres nothing soft about hard times



Theres nothing soft about

No, no, no, no hard times

Theres nothing soft about hard times

No, no, no, no those hard times

Theres nothing soft about hard times

Im going to tell you about the hard times

Theres nothing soft about hard times

No, no, no, no hard times
