Hard Times

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I got married just a year ago I thought things would work out fine Mama warned me that things might get a little rough I found out my mama wasn't lyin' [Chorus] Oh, things can't get no rougher I know they can't get no tougher The last time I had a brand new hat The people thought the world was flat (Unnh!) [Verse 2] Mama tried to get me not to marry She said, "Honey, don't cha be so blind I, too, was a fool, 'cause I married out of school" I found out my mama wasn't lyin' (Unnh!) [Chorus] Oh, things can't get no rougher I know they can't get no tougher The last time I had a new pair of shoes Nat Cole was still singin' the blues (Unnh!) [Bridge] Now I know what-a Mama went through I know just how she felt Bеcause it's been a long, long time since I Had a squarе meal up under my belt (Owww!) [Verse 3] I don't know what my guy's gonna do Whatever he do is just fine But I feel like goin' back to Mama Because I found out my mama wasn't lyin' [Chorus/Outro] Now, things can't get no rougher I know they can't get no tougher The last time I had a new dress on Methuselah wasn't even born (Owww!) The last time I had a brand new coat Ol' Noah was still workin' on his boat (Ow! Ow! Ow!) The last time I had a watch on my arm...
