This ain't no Casablanca... this ain't no black & white Everybody's armed and dangerous-- someone's gonna buy it tonight...
And what about the dream they said would save you? Oh, Lord--tell it to the guys who fought the war...
--'Cause you know they're doin'
(CHORUS:) ...Hard time Hard time It ain't the way that they told us about it-- it ain't that way anymore... They're doin' ...hard time Hard time It's a history of us--the friends and the lovers-- the ones that the good times are for ...Hard time
Me, I've got my moments... You, you've had your fill This'd be one dead cowboy-- baby, if looks could kill...
And walkin' away just ain't that romantic... Oh, Lord--and ain't that what we came here for?...
--But now we're doin'
(CHORUS:) ...Hard time Hard time It ain't the way that they told us about it-- it ain't that way anymore... We're doin' ...hard time Hard time It's a history of us--the friends and the lovers-- the ones that the good times are for ...Hard time
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Hard time... Hard time... Hard time
