John Mellencamp

And he hates that cold-bloodedness
That runs inside
Chorus:
Oh yes
Its hard times (hard times), for an honest man (honest man)
Very very very hard times
Hard times (hard times), for an honest man (honest man)
Very very very hard times
Verse:
Sister (sister),
Shes got a lot of pride
You can see it when she walks into the room
But shes young (shes young)
And shes unaware
Of what a brutal world can do to you
So she loves a man
He lies like a dog
Tears her little world all apart
So the walls go up
For the rest of her days
And there aint no man can touch this
Girls heart
Chorus:
Oh yes
Its hard times (hard times), for an honest man (honest man)
Very very very hard times
Hard times (hard times), for an honest man (honest man)
Very very very hard times
Verse:
So we walk
From the front porch to the back yard
Just to laugh and say hello and
Say goodbye
But some days are hard, like a
Soldiers steel-toed boots
And the rent we pay to stay here
Gets high
Chorus:
Oh yes
Its hard times (hard times), for an honest man (honest man)
Very very very hard times
Hard times (hard times), for an honest man (honest man)
Very very very hard times
