Hard Time Lover


I've seen a lot of people romanticize hard times
But hard times is where I have been
They'll twist a man's heart
  make him mean
    make him cold
Trouble and worry can bury your soul

But a hard time lover goes a long way with me
You know good time lovers are easy and free
You were there when no one else was around
A hard time lover, best friend I ever found

I've heard a lot of people write songs about the highway
But the highway is where I've been down
Burned out and strung out
  and hung
    to dry
Chasing a dream and watching it die

But a hard time lover goes a long way with me
You know good time lovers are easy and free
You were there when no one else was around
A hard time lover, best friend I ever found

(Repeat chorus)
