Hard Days - Nashville Cast, Rainee Blake, Chris Carmack

I know that I was given everything I could take

From the moment I was living I was dying to make

Nothing out of something or real out of fake

It’s hard days living in the world

Said the man on the corner with a sign in his hands

And the other in his pocket, a feverish grin

«Could you spare me a dollar, or whatever you can?»

It’s hard days living in the world

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

The mother in the market with her kids in line

Getting poorer every second trying hard to survive

The water isn’t running, the bills pile high

It’s hard days living in the world

The paper trends of terror and an oil hike

The communistic pleasures of a union strike

The president shelters in his bed at night

It’s hard days living in the world

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

The soldier in the desert with a shot in the heart

As his mother gets a letter saying he fought hard

Well it doesn’t help the matter if he’s honored or not

It’s hard days living in the world

The choir sings a hymn, oh, in staccato spurts

The family in the front row looking to her

And everyone’s an angel for what it’s worth

It’s hard days living in the world

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

I know that I was given everything I could take

From the moment I was living I was dying to make

Nothing out of something or real out of fake

It’s hard days living in the world

Yeah it’s hard days living in the world

Yeah it’s hard days living in the world
