Lyrics
Living in Hard Times
By Nick Justice
The desert sun is fading
Bide my time between the wind of the day
If I bring up tomorrow you just turn and walk away
Life’s a mirror of our own actions
Folks gonna do what their gonna do
We’ve seen it and lived it walked in another man’s shoes
I’m not afraid to look backwards
And I know when I’ve gone too far
We’re just livin in hard times
I grew up in the shadows
Don’t need applause to know who I am
Mystic chords of memory the truth now guarded by friends
Was it that one indiscretion
When the troubles came home to you
We lived our life in just one night I knew it had to be you
More of you and less of me walk me to the promise land
I was on the wrong side of right help me make a better stand
I’m not afraid to look backwards
And I know when I’ve gone too far
We’re just livin in hard times
