Il testo della Hard road

Lucinda Williams

How long have you been hangin' around
Your eyes fixed to the cement ground
Your heart is warm, your hands are cold
You know the truth, but the story gets old
You stood on the corner for a long time
People passin' by gave you nickels and dimes
They think you're one of the nameless
'cause you got no record and you ain't famous
Oh, bill, i know how you're feelin'
Your heart's on fire and your head is reelin'
But with the spirit to guide you and a friend beside you
You know you'll win if you're only willin'
The sun's so hot and my heart is thumpin'
Let me buy you a beer or somethin'
You've been travelin' a hard road
Sit down, bill, and lighten your load
If you need a friend give me a call
I've got your picture on my wall
From one compadre to another
I love you, bill, as i would my brother
Oh, bill, i know how you're feelin'
Your heart's on fire and your head is reelin'
But with the spirit to guide you and a friend beside you
You know you'll win if you're only willin'
