So Long Harry Truman

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I can't stand to read the paper Seems like all the news is bad And an empty anger keeps me From being really sad These are strange times we live in And hard games we play Wager very carefully And play 'em as they lay [Chorus] But don't play no cards ain't in your hand Don't play no cards ain't in your hand So long, Harry Truman Goddamn, it's hard to find an honest man [Verse 2] No longer sure of waking No longer sure of sleep A prisoner bound to promises We knew he could not keep And someone said, "Let's hang him For he is a fool" Ah, but tell me just how was it That he came to rule? [Chorus] And don't play no cards ain't in your hand Don't play no cards ain't in your hand So long, Harry Truman Goddamn, it's hard to find an honest man So long, Harry Truman Goddamn, it's hard to find an honest man [Post-Chorus] So long, Harry Truman So long, Harry Truman Goddamn it, hard to find an honest man [Verse 3] Never trust an enemy And never cheat a friend Just doin' what you think is right Usually works out in the end And the president thought of Truman When he knew the end was near You can pass it on for quite a while But it's true, the buck stops here [Chorus] Don't play no cards ain't in your hand Don't play no cards ain't in your hand So long, Harry Truman Goddamn, it's hard to find an honest man So long, Harry Truman Goddamn, it's hard to find an honest man [Post-Chorus] So long, Harry Truman So long, Harry Truman So long, Harry Truman So long, Harry Truman Goddamn, it's hard to find an honest man [Outro] So long So long So long
