hard year blues
Hard Year Blues   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
