Hard To Make It by Tracy Grammer
Hard To Make It lyrics
lonesome stranger, won�t you share my bed
the sidewalk siren at the bus stop said
love is a tear in a salty bay and it�s
hard to make it in this world today
love is a river but the river run dry
the clouds blow bitter in a boneyard sky
flesh dries up and it burns away
and you can�t remember where your heart once lay and it�s
hard to make it in this world today
dandy don, he�s a velvet hand
he�s my silent partner, he�s the inside man
holds me shakin through the shotgun dawn and he
keeps me walkin down this road i�m on
keeps me runnin when he calls my name
shines the light but he kills the flame
stones me simple when i try to speak
bruise my face but he kiss my cheek and it�s
hard to make it when you get this weak
one of these mornins, gonna spread my wings
like a red-ass robin at the gates of spring
rise up singin on a cyclone wind
till the walls of this city come tumblin in
walls of this city come tumblin, rumblin
�round my head like an old man stumblin
i don�t care if the mountains fall
there�s a little blue egg in the middle of this all and it�s
hard to make it when you feel so small
bus pulled up and i climbed inside
i sat in the window and i waved goodbye
she stood starin at the blue machine
singin nobody knows the trouble i�ve seen
nobody cares and nobody knows
only weeds remember where your headstone grows and it�s
dust to ashes and wings to clay and i
check my wallet as we pull away, �cause it�s
hard to make it in this world today
