Hard Times By The Bastard Sons Of Johnny Cash Chorus: E A A hard life makes a hard man B A And hard love makes a hard wife E A This house we built on thin ice E Hard luck and hard times E A I was born where I stand B E And I was raised with two strong hands E A I'll fight for what's mine B E I've never known any better times Chorus E A My body's tired and growing old B E Like a stream train running out of coal E A Dreams fade without a sound B E Till everything you've ever loved is broken down Chorus
