Hard Times Ain't No Stranger

Hard times ain't no stranger but I keep on
Through the heartaches and the blues I keep goin'
'Cause there's nothing left to do
When I can't stop thinking of you
Hard times ain't no stranger but I keep on

The highway's full of danger but I stay strong
Through the hunger and the cold I've kept goin'
I worked until I bled
Cried 'till all the tears were shed
Hard times ain't no stranger but I keep on

(Chorus: )
And if you feel
Life has cheated you some way
It ain't real
And there's nothing you can gain
From holding on
To shadows from your past
Love that didn't last…….

Love has let me down but I kept on
When there was nothing left to lose I kept goin'
I never could get through
Just how much I felt for you
Hard times ain't no stranger but I keep on

(Chorus: )

Hard times ain't no stranger but I keep on
Through the heartaches and the blues I keep goin'
'Cause there's nothing left to do
When I can't stop thinking of you
Hard times ain't no stranger but I keep on
(repeat last line 2X)
