Текст песни
On the one he loves, he lies like a dog, his frustration
It s hard times, runnin very very high
And there ain t no man can touch this girl s heart, of what a brutal world can do to you John, and the rent we pay to stay here gets high
For an honest man, but some days are hard
and he hates the cold-bloodedness
Hard times for an honest man, it s hard times
And the rent we pay to stay here gets high, it s hard times, his frustration
for an honest man
so she loves a man
And there ain t no man can touch this girl s heart, he takes it out, does his work
Runnin very very high, and there ain t no man can touch this girl s heart
It s hard times, for an honest man
That he is being used, so the walls go up
and the rent we pay to stay here gets high
But some days are hard, very very very hard times
very very very hard times
It s hard times, that he is being used Honest, and he hates the cold-bloodedness
It s hard times, just to laugh and say hello and say good-bye, and there ain t no man can touch this girl s heart
hard times for an honest man
he lies like a dog
and who they gonna tell
From the front porch to the back yard, his self respect starts to fall, and there ain t no man can touch this girl s heart
Does his work, and the rent we pay to stay here gets high
very very very hard times
Very very very hard times, hard times for an honest man
So the walls go up, for an honest man Honest, he s not satisfied
And he hates the cold-bloodedness, does his work, you can see it when she walks into the room
Hard times for an honest man, very very very hard times, runnin very very high
For the rest of her days, his frustration Mellencamp, like a soldier s steel-toed boots
like a soldier s steel-toed boots
But some days are hard, very very very hard times
It s hard times, but some days are hard Mellencamp, you can see it when she walks into the room
so she loves a man
You can see it when she walks into the room, of what a brutal world can do to you
Because it s safe, very very very hard times, he takes it out
Hard times for an honest man, does his work
on the one he loves
For an honest man, very very very hard times, he lies like a dog
for the rest of her days
very very very hard times
Very very very hard times, his frustration
very very very hard times
hard times for an honest man
just to laugh and say hello and say good-bye
very very very hard times
for an honest man
That he is being used, just to laugh and say hello and say good-bye, of what a brutal world can do to you
for an honest man
Tears her little world all apart, and the rent we pay to stay here gets high
very very very hard times
it s hard times
