Hey kids dig the first takes
Ain't that some inspiration
When sinatra sings against Nelson Riddle Strings
Then takes a vacation
Seen some hard times
Drawn some fine lines
No time for shoeshines
Hard Nose the Highway
I was tore down at the dead's place
Shaved head at the organ
But that wasn't half as bad as it was oh no
Belfast and Boston
Put your money where your mouth is
Then we can get something going
In order to win you must be prepared to lose sometime\
and leave one or two cards showing
Seen some hard times
Drawn some fine lines
No time for shoeshines
Hard Nose the Highway
Further on up the road
It may not be today
It may be tomorrow
So if you live for today
Gotta keep in mind
It may be tomorrow
Yes, further on up the road
Further on up, further on up-
Up the road
This might have the hard nose
And hard nose the highway {repeat}
