Lyrics transcript
Reviewed lyrics for Ain't That a Hard Road.
Woke up in a vault suit scene
Dust on my shoes and rust in my dream
Got a cracked old watch and a pocket full
of lies A broken little world under gray brown
skies Mama said, boy, keep your head down low
Still I walked out slow through that busted door
Saw a world of bones where the corn used
to stand And every heart now I feel like
stolen land Ain't that a hard road?
Ain't that a hard road?
Ain't that a hard road?
When the sun won't show
I'm a lone, lone rudder In a broken down
land Trying to keep my soul In my own
two hands
Met a man in patched up leather and wire
Said, trade me your hope for a little more
fire I gave him my bullets, he gave me
a grin Said, out here, baby, everybody's been sent
Found a red bomb leaning into the wind One
old radio crackling and calling me in Heard a
woman sing from a house with no roof Sounded
like truth with a hole in the truth Ain't
that a hard road?
Ain't that a hard road?
Hard road Ain't that a hard road?
When the sun won't show
I'm a lone, lone runner I've been running in
a broken down land
Trying to keep my soul in my own two
hands
I've seen steel giants fall to the dirt I've
seen good men cough up all that hurt But
if the night comes fast and the bullets fly
I'll still be standing when they pass me by
Ain't that a hard road?
Ain't that a hard road?
Hard road Ain't that a hard road?
When the sun won't show
I'm a lone, lone runner In a broken down
land Tryin' to keep my soul in my own
two hands
Got a hard road, got a hard road But
I'm still walkin' on Got a hard road, got
a hard road Till the last light's gone.........
